 "New Zealand Cricket's security delegation arrives in Pakistan for reconnaissance ahead of T20I series")
Lahore: A security delegation of New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has reached Pakistan to carry out a reconnaissance of the arrangements for the Kiwi side’s tour in April to play a T20 series. The delegation, which includes two members of the NZC and an independent security expert, arrived in Pakistan at the weekend to visit Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The five matches of the New Zealand are scheduled to be played at Lahore and Pindi in mid-April.
“The security delegation will visit the match venues, hotels where teams will stay and also get briefings from government and security officials on the security plan for the visitors,” a source in the Pakistan Cricket Board said.
The delegation also includes the CEO of the New Zealand Players Association.
The New Zealand team had returned home in September, 2021 without playing a match of its white-ball series in Pakistan after their government ordered them to come back after getting knowledge about a credible threat against the squad.
New Zealand, who are expected to be depleted by the absence of key players due to the Indian Premier League taking place at the same time, are scheduled to arrive on 14 April, with the first T20I match scheduled to be played on 18 April.
