Separate sides for ODIs and Tests in Pakistan
Lynn McConnell - 6 March 2002

New Zealand will have separate Test and one-day sides for their tour of Pakistan which has now been confirmed from April 18-May 12.

Three One-Day Internationals and two Tests will be played, the ODIs following New Zealand's participation in the Sharjah tournament.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive Martin Snedden said today a separate Test selection would be made for the tour but he didn't know how many players would be involved. That was for the selectors to decide, he said.

It was also decided, in consultation with the players, that no warm-up first-class games will be played before the Tests.

New Zealand were conscious of the fact that it shouldn't be a long tour in order to give players a week or two break before they go to the West Indies.

New Zealand will play in Sharjah against Pakistan and Sri Lanka from April 9-17.

New Zealand team manager Jeff Crowe visited Pakistan after New Zealand's ODI series with England was completed and he was satisfied the security arrangements were up to requirements and the tour should proceed.

Snedden said: "I am satisfied from the reports I have received that appropriate arrangements have been put in place by the Pakistan Cricket Board to ensure player safety and comfort."

The itinerary is: April 21 v Pakistan, Karachi; April 24 v Pakistan, Rawalpindi; April 27 v Pakistan Lahore; May 1-5 v Pakistan, Lahore; May 8-12 v Pakistan, Karachi.
