After many cases of corona were reported in the Kiwi team, it is being speculated that the New Zealand team can also do what India did last year. In the tour of England, many players of the Indian team were hit by Corona and in the last match many players refused to play. After this Team India left the series incomplete and went to Dubai. Now the New Zealand team can also leave the series in the middle.

New Zealand’s position better than India

Many players of India were corona infected during the England tour and despite the corona explosion in the team, India had to play the match. In such a situation, the players had refused to enter the field due to fear of infection. However, New Zealand’s position is much better than India. Despite the arrival of Corona cases in the team, New Zealand players have plenty of time to make a comeback. The third Test match between New Zealand and England is to start from June 23, with six days left. In such a situation, all Kiwi players can get fit and join the team before the third Test.
