It was revealed that batsman Finn Allen returned to New Zealand’s T20I squad after they had two consecutive negative tests for COVID-19, according to an announcement from team authorities. This year, the 22-year-old tested positive for the infectious disease 48 hours after arriving in Dhaka, Bangladesh, two days after making his international debut. “We benefit a lot. He has been a significant presence on our squad. We’re optimistic that he will return as soon as possible, but he will first have to go through a couple of tests “New Zealand interim coach Glenn Pocknall announced.
“It seems likely that he will be considered. This is all about timing. We need to determine the role he will play in the team after evaluating his physical fitness.”
Allen will “bring a lot of fire in our batting line-up,” according to Pocknall.
Allen played in the Hundred tournament for Birmingham Phoenix, in England, before traveling to Dhaka with Colin De Grandhomme on August 22.
Before he left England, he got all his vaccinations and did all of his pre-departure medical examinations.
Matt Henry, who was called in as a replacement, finished his three-day quarantine on his last day.
