New Zealand rules see those in isolation tested on the third and 12th day of the isolation period, and it was a third-day test of players and officials that the seventh player tested positive.<\/p>\n
The result was revealed by New Zealand's ministry of health in its daily COVID-19 update.<\/p>\n

"One additional member of the Pakistan cricket squad has today tested positive during routine testing," the Ministry of Health said in a statement. <\/p>\n
"The remainder of the results from the squad's day three swab testing \u2014 apart from the six who have already returned a positive result \u2014 are negative."<\/p>\n
The seventh positive test comes after Pakistan's touring party came under fire for not obeying strict quarantine regulations during their first day in isolation. The team was given a 'final warning' on Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n A widespread coronavirus outbreak within Pakistan's squad could potentially put the entire tour of New Zealand in jeopardy, with the first T20 scheduled for December 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
