Six touring members of the Pakistan cricket squad have tested positive for COVID-19.
The team is currently in managed isolation in Christchurch, ahead of their series against the Blackcaps next month.
Two of the six results have been deemed "historical" - four have been confirmed as new.
As a result, in line with the protocols governing the team's entry into New Zealand, the six members will be moved to the quarantine arm of the managed isolation facility.
The Pakistan team’s exemption to train while in managed isolation has been put on hold until investigations have been completed.
Prior to leaving Lahore, all members of the Pakistan touring squad returned negative results on the four occasions they were tested.
New Zealand Cricket says it has been made aware that some members of the Pakistan team had contravened protocols on the first day of managed isolation.
"We will be having discussions with the tourists to assist them in understanding the requirements," says NZC.
"NZC considers public health and safety to be paramount in the hosting of international teams, and is supportive of the Ministry of Health and Government position."
