New Zealand has performed very poorly so far in the T20 World Cup 2024. After losing against West Indies, the Kiwi team is on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament. After this defeat of New Zealand, the Pakistani journalist has blamed the IPL for this and has taunted the Kiwi team. Now on this, former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan has given a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist.

Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, the New Zealand team went on a tour of Pakistan. However, many Kiwi players refused to go to Pakistan due to playing in the IPL held in India. This included players like Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Trent Boult, Glenn Phillips.

Despite this, New Zealand’s young team gave a tough fight to Pakistan and did not let them win the series. Now since New Zealand’s performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has been very disappointing, a Pakistani journalist has raised questions on Kane Williamson’s team.

The journalist tweeted, This is what happens when you prioritize money over national duty, New Zealand had a great chance to prepare themselves for the World Cup 2024 on the Pakistan tour but their main players chose IPL and now they are out of the World Cup.

Former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan has given a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist. He tweeted in response, very bad statement, Pakistan had lost to our team. After that, we lost to Ireland and USA as well.

Very poor take.

You lost games to our C side, Ireland and the USA
