Trent Boult and wife Gert arrive at the New Zealand Cricket Awards in Auckland on Wednesday night.

Trent Boult has dethroned his skipper after nabbing the top gong at New Zealand Cricket's annual awards night in Auckland.

The left-armer won the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal for outstanding player of the year on Wednesday night, ending Kane Williamson's two-year hold on the award.

Fresh from taking 15 wickets in New Zealand's drought-breaking test series win against England, including nine in the first test in Auckland, Boult was also named test player of the year.

The 28-year-old had a menacing year with the ball, taking 77 wickets across all formats during the judging period.

Taylor scored two centuries in the recent ODI series against England, including a brutal 181 not out in the fourth match in Dunedin, where he was dogged by a thigh injury but still powered his side past England's 335-9 with three balls to spare.

It was Taylor's 19th ODI century, and helped him average 78 across the judging period.

Devine earned her two awards after averaging 55 in ODIs and 31 in T20s. The Wellingtonian also took 15 wickets across both formats.

He averaged 57 at a whopping strike rate of 182 in the shortest form of the game.
