RAWALPINDI: The first One-Day International match between Pakistan and New Zealand has been canceled, according to cricket reports, due to security concerns.
The match had already been cancelled owing to reports that three Pakistani players had tested positive for coronavirus. She stated that the interior minister would conduct a news conference at 5:00 p.m. to clarify the situation.
According to sources, both teams' players have been ordered to stay in their rooms and not wander out.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to issue an official statement on the matter. The cricket pitch is still deserted, with no ground personnel or broadcast team on hand.
Pakistanis in general, and Islamabad and Rawalpindi supporters in particular, are upset that the match has been cancelled, according to Alia Rasheed.
Abdul Majid Bhatti, a veteran sportswriter, said the PCB was "completely silent" on the issue, despite the fact that it sends out press releases many times a day. He voiced fear that if the situation worsened, the entire series may be cancelled.
