Pakistan team is playing its eighth match in the World Cup against New Zealand on November 4 at Bengaluru. Before this match, Pakistan team director Mickey Arthur said, ‘The most difficult thing for us is that we are amidst very tight security and it is very difficult for the players.

We feel like we are back in the Covid era. You are confined to your floor and room in the hotel. The security situation is such that our breakfast is also held in a separate room.
