Afghanistan vs New Zealand Greater Noida Test Match Abandoned Without A Ball Being Bowled
The one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand was called off on Friday without a ball being bowled owing to incessant rain here, making it only the eighth instance of a match being abandoned in such a manner in the history of five-day games. It was the first time that a Test was abandoned without any play at an Indian venue. The first two days of the game were cancelled because of a wet outfield, raising significant concerns about the preparedness of the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex. The remaining three days were then washed out due to persistent rain.
