MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Trent Boult has not given up hope of playing test cricket again despite declining a central contract with New Zealand Cricket (NZC), the left-arm seamer said on Thursday.

Boult has negotiated a "significantly reduced role" with the Black Caps citing the need to spend time with his family though he remains open to stints in Twenty20 leagues.
