New Zealand has been rocked by three strong earthquakes. A tsunami warning has even been issued. However, the visiting team from Bangladesh is safe. This was stated by Jalal Yunus, director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in New Zealand and chairman of the media committee.
At 8:26 pm local time (Friday), a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the northern part of New Zealand. The epicenter was reported 160 kilometers (125 miles) south of Gisborne, on the northeast coast of the country. However, the epicenter was reported below the epicenter; no tsunami warning was issued. Sometimes another earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurs.
News of a strong earthquake caused panic among cricketers in Bangladesh. Because the Tigers are now in New Zealand to play three ODI and T20. However, the distance between Christchurch and the epicenter of the earthquake was so great that Mushfiqur and Tamim did not notice anything.
In a statement, Jalal Yunus said that despite the strong earthquake in New Zealand, Tiger cricketers and all team members are safe. The current position of the Bangladesh team is far from the epicenter of the earthquake. The Tigers are now in Christchurch. The distance from there to Gisborne is about 900 kilometers. As a result, the cricketers were unaware during the earthquake. Especially in New Zealand when it was midnight, almost everyone on the team was fast asleep.
The official statement of Bangladesh Cricket Board is given below:
A 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand’s North Island at 2:27 pm local time today (Friday). A tsunami watch was issued on the North Island, especially along the coast.
Christchurch is on the South Island and is a long way from the epicenter. Apart from this, the management of the Bangladesh team is in constant contact with the local authorities. They have confirmed that there is no reason to worry in this part of New Zealand.
Everyone on our team is fine. All the activities of the day were carried out as usual. Consequently, the players divided into groups and practiced at Lincoln Green Park. ‘
