Photo: gettyPakistan's preparation for their upcoming Twenty20 and test series against the Black Caps has been thrown into turmoil after six players tested positive for Covid-19. As a consequence, the Pakistan team's exemption to train while in managed isolation has been put on hold until investigations have been completed, NZC said. Separately, NZC has also been made aware that some members of the Pakistan team had contravened protocols on the first day of managed isolation. Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said any breaches of managed isolation rules were taken very seriously. Air Commodore Darryn Webb, head of Managed Isolation and Quarantine, said there are robust processes in place in managed isolation facilities to respond to these events.
