The cuts are coming from NZC, $6 million, of which $1.5m is staff,&quot; White said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;What we are experiencing is what I imagine most businesses in New Zealand are experiencing at the moment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a really challenging situation and we&#39;ve just got to work through it the best we can to ensure NZ Cricket remains strong and viable, and all our members do as well.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There have been talks of New Zealand hosting Australia amid a trans-Tasman bubble in November, in all likelihood, behind closed doors. The country is also slated to host the Women&#39;s World Cup in February-March next year.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
