NZC filed a complaint with the police after failing to "conclusively identify" a spectator who, as Archer explained on social media, had racially abused him during play on the final day of the first test at the Bay Oval in November. "NZC have since contacted the man and have also written to him, advising of his ban from all international and domestic fixtures in New Zealand until 2022." If the man attends a fixture and breaches his ban, he will be removed from the venue and may face further legal action.
