NZC was yesterday made aware that some members of the West Indies team had contravened protocols within the Managed Isolation Facility in Christchurch. These incidents included some players compromising bubble integrity by sharing food, and socialising in hallways.
There is no evidence, or suggestion, that any members of the touring party left the facility, or that any unauthorised persons accessed the facility. NZC is supportive of the Ministry of Health and Government position.
NZC will continue working with the West Indies team and management, and relevant Government agencies to ensure there is no repeat of these violations.
The West Indies squad had their final COVID-19 tests today and, results permitting, are scheduled to leave managed isolation on Friday and travel to Queenstown ahead of two matches against New Zealand.
