ODI World Cup: Trent Boult Is Likely To Return For New Zealand At The ODI World Cup
New Zealand Cricket Team head coach Gary Stead confirmed on Thursday, that their star new ball pacer Trent Boult will be available to play the ODI World Cup later this year in India. Trent Boult was an important member of New Zealand’s squad in the 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cup as he bowled brilliantly well for the Blackcaps with the new ball. His performance with the ball helped the Kiwis make back-to-back appearances in the grand final and is the highest wicket-taker for New Zealand in World Cup with 39 wickets in 19 games so far. “Of course, (I am) desperate to play in the ODI World Cup – it is one of the biggest events on the calendar. Currently, my sole focus is on the IPL here at the moment and if things work out (well) I am 100 per cent I want to be there (in the World Cup),” Trent Boult said.

New Zealanders increasingly worried about interest rates
Not surprisingly given how much they've risen over the past 18-months or so, a growing number of New Zealanders are worried about interest rates, market research company Roy Morgan says. In the year to June 2021 just over a third of New Zealanders, or 34.6%, were worried about interest rates, Roy Morgan says. “Now nearly two-thirds of New Zealanders who are paying off their home, 63.3%, say they are ‘worried about interest rates at the moment’ – up from a low of only 21.6% in March 2021. With most New Zealand mortgage borrowers choosing fixed-term, rather than floating, mortgage rates, the impact of higher rates is still flowing through to borrowers' finances. % of New Zealanders who agree “I’m worried about interest rates at the moment”% of New Zealanders who agree “I’m worried about interest rates at the moment” by housing category

A substantial number of consented housing projects in Auckland may not proceed over the next couple of years
A significant increase in the number of consented housing projects in Auckland that do not get built over the next couple of years is possible. Most residential building projects take about two years to complete once a building consent is issued. That suggests building consents have been a very good indicator of future building activity. While that is a possibility, it seems unlikely because the overall housing market is in the doldrums and residential building consents have started trending down, indicating a weakening in developers' intentions. Which suggests we are likely to start seeing a significant number of consented building projects in Auckland being put on hold.

Illegal energy drink Prime packed with dangerous caffeine levels being sold to Kiwi kids
But it's their energy drink that's causing problems. It has 200mg of caffeine - that's nearly double the amount in a Red Bull and more than double your average coffee. When Brown did that, parents told a local dairy to stop selling the drink to their children, which they did. But others are selling the energy drink despite knowing the dangers. "If there's no restriction on shopkeepers selling it to children, they can put their money together - and it's pretty dangerous," Brown said.

Filipinas players will have more motivation
PLAYERS vying for slots in the 23-women Filipinas squad that will play in the FIFA Women’s World Cup next month in Australia and New Zealand have extra motivation to do so. FIFA said it is making “a huge investment in women’s football and, for the first time ever, we are guaranteeing prize money for players. FIFA president Gianni Infantino said at its annual congress in Rwanda that the money should go directly to players. “The players’ union FIFPRO had challenged FIFA to secure a global guarantee that 30 percent of the prize money would go to players.
