WELLINGTON – Pakistan's cricketers on Monday complained of being affected"mentally and physically" by New Zealand's strict Covid-19 protocols, which have kept them holed up in their quarantine hotel for nearly two weeks.
Since the 50-plus squad of players and officials arrived last month, 10 have tested positive for the coronavirus, forcing New Zealand health authorities to withdraw permission for the team to train in isolation. "Top professional athletes require a certain environment to prepare so that they can perform at the minimum expected levels every time they represent their countries," Misbah said.
All overseas arrivals to New Zealand must spend two weeks in quarantine, with sports teams that return negative tests after three days granted permission to train together in isolation.
