AFG vs NZ One-Off Test: Play Called Off on Day 2 Without a Ball Being Bowled Due to Wet Outfield at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground

Day 1 of the Afghanistan vs New Zealand Test match was called off as well due to wet outfield without a ball being bowled. This is the first-ever time that the two teams are squaring off in Test cricket and fans would hope to witness some action on Day 3.

The second day's play in the Afghanistan vs New Zealand one-off Test match has been called off as well due to wet outfield at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground on Tuesday, September 10. The ground staff tried their best to dry the wet patches and bizarrely, a part of the outfield was dug up as well and covered with dry grass to make the conditions fit for play but all effort went in vain. Reports have also surfaced citing the lack of facilities at the stadium with an Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) official reportedly expressing his displeasure. Reporters also stated that both teams did not arrive at the venue. Play on Day 1 was called off as well. Groundstaff Dig Up Wet Patches From Greater Noida Sports Complex Stadium to Replace It With Dry Grass, Attempt to Quickly Commence AFG vs NZ One-Off Test 2024 (Watch Video).
