New Zealand cricket star Trent Boult is engaged.
The talented fast bowler proposed to his girlfriend Gert Smith while on holiday in Melbourne, The Bay of Plenty Times reports.
Gert, 25, a primary school teacher, wrote on Instagram: “Just when i thought it was going to be another normal week. I awoke to find Trent had other ideas. Walking through an incredible Redwood forest on a chilly afternoon in Melbourne – Trent asked me to marry him and without a doubt I happily said yes!
“I couldn’t be happier to spend the rest of my life with this guy.”
Trent posted the same photo to his Instagram page with the comment: “She said yes! And I couldn’t be happier.”
The pair are making the most of the limited time they have together; the fast bowler has just returned from playing in the IPL in India, and is soon to fly out to Africa, when the New Zealand cricket team play two games in both Zimbabwe and South Africa in July.
