Pakistani cricketers on 'final warning' after six players breach isolation rules in New Zealand

[Ankit_sharma03]

Six Pakistani cricket players are in isolation in New Zealand after testing positive for Covid-19, according to New Zealand's national cricket body on Thursday, and the whole squad has been issued with a "final warning" after several members were seen breaching rules on isolation.

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said it "was made aware today that six members of the Pakistan touring squad, currently in managed isolation in Christchurch, have tested positive for COVID-19."

Four of the cases were new and two of the cases were "historical," the news release added. NZC said all players had tested negative for the virus before departing from Lahore on four separate occasions.

"As a consequence, the Pakistan team's exemption to train while in managed isolation has been put on hold until investigations have been completed," NZC said.

New Zealand has been widely praised for its approach to handling the coronavirus and has reported just over 2,000 total cases and 25 deaths since the pandemic began, according to the John Hopkins University of Medicine.

 

Pakistan's official cricket website said the team departed for New Zealand on Monday.

After they landed, several of the Pakistani cricket players were caught on camera breaking isolation rules, New Zealand's Ministry of Health said.

"Since their arrival, several team members have been seen on CCTV at the facility breaching managed isolation rules, despite clear, consistent and detailed communication of expected behaviors while in the facility," a news release read. "The team as a whole has been issued with a final warning."

According to health officials, 53 members of the the squad arrived in Christchurch on 24 November and were tested on day one.

"These cases are the results of those tests," the health ministry said. It added that these new cases would be counted outside of its usual daily count because of "the high public interest in visiting sports teams."

Those with positive tests are required to stay in quarantine rooms within the facility and no team members are allowed to leave the facility to train. There is no risk to the public as the isolation breaches occurred within the facility, the health department said.

In a statement Sunday, the Pakistani cricket team said one player had stayed behind from the trip after reporting a fever, but had previously tested negative for Covid-19.

The Pakistani team is expected to play three T20 matches and two Test matches while in New Zealand, with the first match scheduled to take place at Eden Park in Auckland on December 18.

A club team would have shown more discipline, this guy was a very good bowler , but other than that he is a total embarrassment when he open his mouth.

Didn't NZ go to zero cases a while ago? How did poyz catch the virus then? Of course, they shouldn't have strayed outside the bubble, but just curious how they caught it. Maybe the tests they did prior to departure were flawed

More accurate tests in NZ  ..... Also the bubble is to not to prevent catching the virus but to stop the virus from coming into a place from outside (NZ in this case)

what a funny nation(not much of a nation either but thats another discussion),the idiot national team players break rules in another country meant to protect from a deadly disease and instead of people telling thier players to mind themselves ,they are busy warning the ones enforcing the safety procedures for saving lives.

An entire nation being such a low hanging low iq fruit is a new low.

I don’t think Nzl government cares about cricket. It’s not a big political thing like it is in the subcontinent or even Eng-Aus
