Speaking from Chennai, BLACKCAPS Manager Dave Currie said the team are closely following the news of the Christchurch earthquake.
“The team are devastated by what has happened,” said Currie. “Many of the team were woken by calls from friends and family early this morning.
“There have been a large number of enquires regarding team members and support staff who live in Christchurch and initial reports are that their immediate friends and family are safe. However, our thoughts are firmly with the people of Christchurch and deepest sympathy with those that have lost loved ones.”
Captain Daniel Vettori echoed the sentiments saying: “It’s obviously been a tough for a number of the guys from the team and the management crew based in Christchurch. It’s been a rough time finding out their family is safe and that extends to everyone in the team who have family or friends within Christchurch - they’re feeling it to.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the Canterbury area during this time.”
