ECB receives 'threatening email' related to New Zealand cricket, extra security for NZ women players in UK

Security has been tightened around New Zealand's women's cricket team after a threat was received ahead of a one-day international against England in Leicester on Tuesday.

New Zealand Cricket on Tuesday boosted security around the women's national team currently touring Britain as a precaution after a threatening email was received by the England and Wales Cricket Board officials.

England earlier withdrew their men's and women's teams from next month's tour of Pakistan. England's decision comes days after New Zealand returned home from Rawalpindi, citing security concerns.
