Following Pakistan cricketers contracting the Coronavirus, coach Misbah-ul-Haq revealed that the touring side considered pulling out of the New Zealand tour. While admitting that the circumstances are not normal, Misbah also said that it is for the sake of the game that they decided to go ahead with the tour.
“Obviously these aren’t normal circumstances; what happens here isn’t ideal. But then for the sake of international cricket you want cricket to go on, and being a big stakeholder, we will give our full effort to help cricket overall. We did discuss (about pulling out of the tour) but then finally decided to say no to this option because when you invest this much time on this, then you have got to give it a shot,” Misbah was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
Stating that coping with the situation is not easy, Misbah said that sacrifices have to be made for the fans – who too have had difficult times.
