New Zealand's national cricket team, the Black Caps, received a bomb threat to their hotel after their decision to abandon its limited-overs tour of Pakistan, the country's media reported.

New Zealand was warned of a “specific, credible threat” against its team, New Zealand Cricket said, elaborating on the rationale for abruptly abandoning the tour of Pakistan as the squad reached Dubai on Sunday.

“Everything changed on Friday. The advice changed, the threat level changed and, as a consequence, we took the only responsible course of action possible.” The players left Islamabad by a chartered flight on Saturday and reached Dubai where the 34-strong contingent are undergoing 24-hour period of self-isolation, the NZC said in a statement.Of the touring party, 24 will return home next week, while the rest will join New Zealand’s Twenty20 World Cup squad for the showpiece tournament scheduled in the United Arab Emirates and Oman from October 17.
