Matt Boyle is a destructive top-order batter with quite a future ahead of him.
The promising kiwi currently opens the batting for Canterbury alongside Blackcaps white ball player Chad Bowes.
In November 2022, Boyle made his Ford Trophy (List A) debut for Canterbury whilst still in his teens. He had, a few months earlier (March 2022) represented a New Zealand XI in two 50-over matches against the touring Netherlands side (hitting scores of 16, and 41).
Now a contracted member of the strong Canterbury squad that includes the likes of Blackcaps’ stars Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls, Matt Henry, and Daryl Mitchell, its envisaged Boyle will have a long and fruitful career in the red and black colours.
Boyle is a youngster who always seemed destined for the big stage. He comes from a strong cricketing family – his Father (Justin), and Uncle (David) played over 100 matches for Canterbury between them, whilst his Brother (Jack) represents Central Districts following 80 plus matches for Canterbury.
The hard-hitting batter, who also bowls very useful wrist spin, earned his Canterbury selection courtesy of his exploits through the age groups. He broke all sorts of records for his school – St. Bede’s College, including the most centuries (11), and highest score (215 in a 50-over match).
In 2020/21 he made his Canterbury A debut towards the backend of the season, hitting 99 against Otago A. In 2021/22, he was named Player of the Tournament at the National Under-19 Competition, topping the run charts with 376 runs at 61 with 2 centuries. To evidence his all round ability, he was also the second leading wicket-taker bagging 10 wickets at 21.
Therefore, it came as no surprise to see Boyle picked for both the New Zealand Development and XI sides, before earning a full Canterbury contract for the current 2022/23 season.
Boyle is a serious prospect and in a view towards his development has signed with Three Bridges for their 2024 Sussex Premier League campaign.
