"Afghanistan Have Better Facilities": Big Accusation Against BCCI Over Noida Test Fiasco

The 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.

The umpires cited "players safety" as a concern and although there was no rain on Tuesday, some wet patches on the field made it impossible for the officials to start the play.
