After eight players of the touring squad tested positive for COVID-19, the Pakistan cricket team was denied the right to practice while in supervised isolation in New Zealand.
Members of the 53-strong Pakistan team may have been permitted to leave their Christchurch hotel to practice in small groups just after the third day of their 14-day isolation period under the exemptions given to visiting sports teams.
However, the positive tests and the abuse of the team members’ isolation guidelines on their first day in isolation prompted the New Zealand authorities to suspend the training exemption.

“I have considered this situation very carefully,” Bloomfield said. “I continue to have ongoing concerns at this time about the possibility of cross-infection within the team.
Among the team, there were a number of active cases found. In our response to COVID-19, public health concerns will continue to be paramount, whether this includes individuals or teams.
“We understand the challenges that the touring team will have with this decision.”
Pakistan tour of New Zealand:
For the Pakistan team that will launch a three-match Twenty20 series toward New Zealand from Dec. 18 as well as a two-match test series from Dec. 26, the decision is a big setback.
Pakistan Breaking isolation rules:
A “final warning” was given to the team after violations of the isolation protocol happened shortly after the team’s arrival last week in New Zealand. By mixing in corridors and exchanging food, closed-circuit television coverage from their hotel showed players violating rules.
Further violations may have contributed to the dismissal of the team from New Zealand.
For the first three days of the isolation era, players and officials are required to stay in their own rooms before the training exemption can come into effect. Members of the squad were examined in isolation for the first, third, and sixth days of their stay.
Players tested Negative in the first test:
On four occasions until the team left from Lahore towards New Zealand, all players tested negative, but six participants were positive on arrival. Since then, two more positive samples have been returned, and all eight are now in isolation.
