DHAKA (Bangladesh): Batsman Finn Allen has rejoined New Zealand’s squad for their Twenty20 series against Bangladesh after recording two negative tests for Covid-19, officials said on Thursday.
The 22-year-old, who made his international debut this year, tested positive for the infectious disease 48 hours after arriving in Dhaka last week.
“It’s great for us. He has been a big part of our squad,” interim New Zealand coach Glenn Pocknall said.
An inexperienced New Zealand side lost the opening match of the five-match series by seven wickets on Wednesday when they were bowled out for 60 — their joint-lowest Twenty20 international score.
The remaining four matches of the series will be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on September 3, 5, 8 and 10.
