Please be advised that the second of three COVID-19 tests for the ten New Zealand players and support staff, and the ten West Indies players and support staff currently in managed isolation, have all been returned as negative. The two groups will have their final tests on Day 12 and, results permitting, will leave managed isolation next Thursday, November 26.
The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.
