Seifert, who represented the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, failed both his pre-departure tests and as a result will be taken into quarantine.
New Zealand Cricket says immediate advice is that he is experiencing moderate symptoms.
One of the two charter flights transporting New Zealand s IPL contingent back home has already departed India, and the other will leave this evening (NZ time) after being delayed for logistical reasons.
A New Zealand Cricket statement says: All those on the flights have been, and will be, observing prescribed pre-departure and in-flight protocols, including Covid-19 tests, social distancing, mask wearing and best-practice hygiene, and will again be assessed on arrival in Auckland.
