Six members of Pakistan’s touring contingent in New Zealand have tested positive for Covid-19. According to an NZC release, four are new cases, while two of the positive results have been deemed “historical”.
It is unclear whether the six who tested positive are players or other members of Pakistan’s touring party.
The results are from tests conducted upon Pakistan’s arrival in New Zealand on November 24. Each member of the squad will have to undergo a minimum of four tests while in managed isolation.
The six who tested positive will be moved to the quarantine arm of the managed isolation facility in Christchurch where Pakistan are currently based. The team will not be able to train until investigations are completed.
All members of the Pakistan contingent who flew out of Lahore had returned negative results from four separate tests. Opening batsman Fakhar Zaman had been left out of the tour as a precautionary measure after showing possible symptoms of Covid-19.
