Virat Kohli has been one of the great players for a long time: Henry Nicholls
In the year 2021, the New Zealand cricket team suddenly canceled the Pakistan tour due to security concerns. However, he has visited the country twice in 2023.
There are less than two months left for the ICC T20 World Cup to begin in the West Indies and USA from June 1-29. In such a situation, to prepare for the tournament, New Zealand has planned to play five T20I matches in Pakistan to finalize its team.
Meanwhile, a big statement has come from New Zealand regarding the tour of Pakistan. New Zealand batsman Henry Nicholls has expressed his confidence regarding security in Pakistan. Let us tell you that the New Zealand team has already reached Pakistan and is preparing in full swing for the five-match series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from Thursday, April 18.
Nicholas was asked a lot of questions in a special interview, let’s see what he answered –
- This will be New Zealand’s third tour in the last 17 months. How safe is Pakistan for cricketers in terms of security?
We have spent a lot of time in Pakistan since last year. From the players’ perspective, we feel incredibly safe. When we came here, the board and others took very good care of us. Whenever I have been there I feel safe and the security there has been of the highest level.
- How do you see New Zealand’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup this time?
We have a really strong T. We know from the number of players we have currently playing in the IPL and other competitions around the world that we have a strong squad and hopefully this will work out for the team. We will definitely do wonders in this tournament.
- 2 New Zealand players who can change the fortunes of the team in the upcoming World Cup?
Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra

New Zealand, West Indies, India, England. I think we can see the final match between New Zealand and India.
- How much will Team India need Virat Kohli in the T20 World Cup?
Virat Kohli has been one of the great players for a long time. I feel fortunate to have played against him and know how competitive he is. Having Virat Kohli in the team makes India a more dangerous team than ever.

I think Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill.
