New Zealand government issues final warning to Pakistan team after four breaches of protocol
Khan said “they’ll send us home” if the team commits one more breach. “Boys, I spoke to the New Zealand government and they told us there were three or four breaches of protocols. They have a zero tolerance policy and they’ve given us a final warning. We understand that this is a difficult time for you, and you went through similar conditions in England,” ESPNCricinfo quoted Khan as saying.
“It’s not easy. But this is a matter of the nation’s respect and credibility. Observe these 14 days and then you’ll have the freedom to go to restaurants and roam about freely. They have told me in clear terms that if we commit one more breach, they’ll send us home,” he added.

NZC had also said: “Separately, NZC has also 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.”
