International series on coronavirus. The New Zealand national cricket team will play 5 T20 matches against Bangladesh in a tour of about 17 days. Cricket New Zealand (NZ) fielded only a 15-man squad for the tour of Bangladesh, while teams are on the way to confirm extra players for overseas tours due to biosecurity measures.
After arriving in Bangladesh, the team's cricketer Finn Allen was diagnosed with coronavirus. That's why they hastily took Matt Henry into the team. NZ confirmed Henry's inclusion in a press release on Friday (August 27).https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-5450504941871955&output=html&h=280&adk=745797130&adf=2991542305&pi=t.aa~a.1029901795~i.2~rp.4&w=731&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1630149613&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=5251334678&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=731×280&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbarta24.net%2Fsports%2F155857&flash=0&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=183&rw=730&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&dt=1630149613303&bpp=7&bdt=1149&idt=-M&shv=r20210824&mjsv=m202108240101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D8757366e6842a1a6-2292267c27cb000d%3AT%3D1630148319%3ART%3D1630148319%3AS%3DALNI_MYg6kbH7s_r7y7UONr7MnNoAoR-MA&prev_fmts=728×90%2C1200x280%2C0x0&nras=3&correlator=5030377603206&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=253402157.1630148298&ga_sid=1630149613&ga_hid=868802986&ga_fc=0&ga_cid=1694721248.1630148298&u_tz=360&u_his=8&u_java=0&u_h=768&u_w=1360&u_ah=738&u_aw=1360&u_cd=24&u_nplug=3&u_nmime=4&adx=236&ady=1456&biw=1343&bih=666&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44747620%2C31062297&oid=3&pvsid=1374365891464782&pem=742&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbarta24.net%2Fsports%2F155944&eae=0&fc=384&brdim=-8%2C0%2C-8%2C0%2C1360%2C0%2C1376%2C754%2C1360%2C666&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=23&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=OQY7nzPLwA&p=http%3A//www.bbarta24.net&dtd=42
The field fight will start on September 1. Before that, Henry will join the team by flying from New Zealand on August 30 (Monday). Although he does not have the opportunity to enter the field. After arriving in Dhaka, he will have to undergo a three-day hotel quarantine and undergo a coronavirus test.
Meanwhile, Allen will stay with the team in Dhaka despite being affected by the coronavirus. The batsman's treatment will continue under the supervision of team doctor Pat Maghook.
Although Allen is a batsman in the 15-member squad, Henry, who has been taken as his substitute, is mainly a pacer. Blackcaps head coach Gary Stead explained the reason for taking Henry as an alternative.
Gary from Christchurch said Henry is not an alternative to Finn but is the best option for the selectors at the moment. As the rest of the national team are busy and Henry has completed two doses of the coronavirus vaccine, he has been given priority.
Before this, Allen came to Bangladesh before the main team. He came directly to Dhaka after playing The Hundred tournament in England. The Kiwi star has taken two doses of the vaccine. Even 48 hours before coming to Dhaka, he failed all the tests. But he became corona positive after coming to Dhaka. He is currently staying at the five-star hotel Intercontinental in the capital. Allen is being treated there.
