<p>New Zealand Football chief executive Andrew Pragnell said in a statement: “It is with deep regret that we have been forced to cancel our participation in the upcoming match against England at Wembley.<br />
“It is not an action taken lightly, this is a match we all wanted to play, however, as it stands of the last All Whites squad selected for the November 2019 tour, even excluding the New Zealand based players, a significant number of the team would be subject to quarantine or restrictions on their return home.<br />
“This would heavily disrupt their domestic seasons and potentially jeopardise their professional careers.”</p>

<p>All Whites head coach Danny Hay added: “I’m gutted, and I know the players will also be, but this is one of those situations we can’t do anything about.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“We always knew when planning for these fixtures that certain players would be unavailable but looking at the restrictions currently in place, as well as the rising number of Covid-19 cases across Europe, it just isn’t possible to put a competitive squad together.</p>
<p>“We all want to be playing more games but coming up against one of the top sides in the world with a heavily understrength team doesn’t do anything to help our long-term development.”</p>
