Pakistani players to start training by Friday in New Zealand
“All the players with negative reports following the fourth test are expected to start training at the nearest available ground from Friday, which will be their ninth day in New Zealand. Currently, they are exercising in confinement, mostly within their rooms. They are doing their best to keep themselves ready to take on New Zealand. However, from Friday onwards there are all the chances that they will be allowed to use cricket facilities to practice for the forthcoming T20 and Test series,” the source said.
“The authorities have held back four cricketers’ results after the third test as they say they are analyzing whether this deadly virus can pose any threat to others. Hopefully, the results of these three players would be shared with the team management in a couple of days while the fourth player will undergo a test on Thursday. So far these four players are staying on the same floor meant for the majority of the members.”
