Star batter Smriti Mandhana out of quarantine, to join team for remainder of New Zealand ODI series
Star batter Smriti Mandhana on Tuesday completed her extended stay in quarantine here and left for Queenstown to join the Indian women's cricket team for the remainder of the five-match ODI series against New Zealand.
The Indian team had undergone a 10-day MIQ in Christchurch after its arrival in New Zealand.
The team had undergone a week of hard quarantine in Mumbai before its departure on January 24.
To reduce the risk of a Covid-19 outbreak, New Zealand Cricket had moved all of India's fixtures, including a T20I and five ODIs, to Queenstown.
The bilateral series is a key assignment for India ahead of the 50-over World Cup in March-April in New Zealan
