New Zealand has been the least affected by the coronavirus pandemic, brilliantly managing to curb the cases. The case count hasn’t exceeded 1500, including more than 1400 recoveries. The COVID-19 death toll in the country stands at 22 at this point. International cricket has taken small steps towards a resumption with England and the West Indies engaged in a Test series right now. Australian cricketers have begun training too.
