Sports Desk: Pakistan cricket team has acted like one after another in the tour of New Zealand. After six corona positive in the first round, the rest did not pay attention, did not pay much attention to the restrictions of Bio Secure Bubble. As a result, the presence of coronavirus was found in the bodies of 4 more people.

The situation was such that the entire team might have to return to the country before entering the field. But in the end it did not happen. Finally Pakistan got good news. All 44 of the coroner-free candidates tested negative in the fifth and final round on Sunday. As a result, there was no obstacle for them to practice on the field. But before that, Pakistan has to get clearance from the New Zealand Ministry of Health.

Once they receive it, they will leave Christchurch's Isolation Center on Tuesday and begin training in Queenstown. They are getting at least a week to practice before the T20 series, which starts on December 16. In addition to the T20 series, Pakistan 'A' will play two four-day matches against New Zealand 'A'. Which is basically being considered as a preparation for the two-match series of the Test Championship.

The first match will start on December 10 (Thursday) in Queenstown. The second match will be played at Wangarai on the 18th. However, the players of the 'A' team will not have any contact with the players of the T20 squad. The two Pakistani teams will practice at different times from different hotels in Queenstown. A statement from the New Zealand Cricket Board said: If everything was normal, the Pakistan team could have started training from last Saturday (December 5).

But their practice has been delayed for at least three days due to one corona attack after another. However, as there is still time to start the field game, they are getting the proper opportunity to practice.
