Black Caps arrive safely in Dubai.
A Black Cap is understood to have received a death threat prior to departing on the cricket team's tour to Pakistan.
The player, who
Stuff has chosen not to name, was one of the 34-strong New Zealand group who fled Pakistan on a charter flight to Dubai on Saturday night (NZ time). They arrived there safely on Sunday.
Officials knew about the threat, which proved to be one of several made against the cricketers with the team leaving for the UAE under the cloud of an alleged bomb threat made against their hotel and flights.
Speaking with media on Sunday, New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White dismissed the email threats sent to players "a few weeks ago" saying they were "forwarded to our security provider," and "were proved to be hoax and not credible".
However,
Stuff understands the player was so concerned they considered not travelling to Pakistan where the threat was believed to have originated from.

In my opinion after reading above article the information will not be shared. The reason I can guess would be to avoid associating players names. I also think the threats were made by Pakistani factions and their motivation might be related to Christchurch attack. Read the article and see how Porkistanis are still making threats after they refused to play. Losers
