We’re all hoping that there’s going to be cricket there again soon.”Soon after the New Zealand cut short their stay in Pakistan, the country’s minister for information and broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry, said that a threatening email about Guptill’s life had been sent to his wife, broadcaster Laura McGoldrick, before the start of the tour.”It never is (good for family to receive threats). We sent it to the right people to sort of deal with it. Obviously, nothing came of it. It is what it is, and we just had to go through the right channels to get it dealt with properly,” he said.”Laura never actually told me what the email said, so I had no idea what was going on. As I said, we sent it to the proper authorities to get it sorted,” said Guptill.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
