New Zealand’s tour of Pakistan under threat, subject to security clearance after Taliban takeover of Afghanistan

New Zealand’s tour of Pakistan has came under threat after some Kiwi players have expressed concerns about touring the country following Taliban's takeover of neighbouring Afghanistan. New Zealand are due to play three ODIs and five T20 Internationals in Pakistan.

New Zealand’s first tour to Pakistan in 18 years has came under threat after some Kiwi players expressed concerns about touring the country following the Taliban's takeover of neighbouring Afghanistan. New Zealand Cricket officials have now commissioned international security consultant and expert, Reg Dickason to visit Pakistan later this week to carry out a thorough security and covid-19 assessment before advising them whether they should send their team to Pakistan.
