The New Zealand government had warned the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that one more break of New Zealand’s Covid-19 protocols by the Pakistan squad would result in the entire traveling party being deported.

In a WhatsApp voice message to the traveling players the PCB CEO, Wasim Khan spoke to the players and told them being sent back home would be “hugely embarrassing”.

“Boys, I spoke to the New Zealand government and they told us there were three or four breaches of protocols,” Wasim Khan said in the voice note.

“They have a zero-tolerance policy and they’ve given us a final warning. We understand that this is a difficult time for you, and you went through similar conditions in England. It’s not easy. But this is a matter of the nation’s respect and credibility. Observe these 14 days and then you’ll have the freedom to go to restaurants and roam about freely. They have told me in clear terms that if we commit one more breach, they will send us home.”
