In a major development, the Afghanistan vs New Zealand One-Off Test match has been officially called off after play on Day 5 was abandoned due to rain. The match was expected to be a historic affair, becoming the first-ever occasion of the two teams squaring off against each other in the longest format of the game. But rain and poor drainage facilities at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground prevented play on any of the four days and unfortunately, the fifth day's play has also been called off. This marks the first-ever occasion of a Test match to be called off without a single ball being bowled on Indian soil and it is the eighth time it has happened overall in the history of the longest format of the game.
