By Deepanshu he Afghanistan vs New Zealand one-off Test has made headlines without a single ball being bowled. For two days, no play has been possible at the Greater Noida Stadium due to unfit playing conditions. Rain at the venue hasn’t been incessant, poor drainage facilities have hurt the stadium’s ability to get the match started. Despite the fact that the Sun was out for the most part of Day 2, even toss couldn’t be held as the groundsmen failed to dry the wet patches on the field. While there are suggestions that the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) could’ve chosen a different venue, a board official has claimed that Noida stadium was the only option they had.
