A delegation from New Zealand Cricket (NZC) visited Karachi's National Stadium on Thursday to check the preparations for the upcoming ODI tri-series in February 2025.
The NZC team, which included Brad Rodden from the New Zealand Players’ Association and security expert Reg Dickason, was welcomed by Usman Wahla, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Director of International Cricket, and Arshad Khan, the General Manager.
