ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) A 33-member squad of the New Zealand cricket team on Saturday left Pakistan for United Arab Emirates (UAE), a day after the country announced to pull out from the scheduled five-match T-20 series.
A chartered plane had arrived at the Islamabad International Airport earlier in the day after a delay of over an hour to fetch the New Zealand players. The plane earlier had to arrive at the Islamabad airport at 5:00 pm.
“Before their departure, the players underwent a COVID test that came out negative, paving way for their exit,” they said.
