Afghanistan vs New Zealand, One-Off Test Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast?

Afghanistan could be an inexperienced side, but as they take on New Zealand in the one-off Test at Greater Noida, the 'hosts' start could even be termed favourites. In the sub-continent conditions, there's no denying the favourable conditions that are likely to aid Afghanistan more than the Kiwis. However, Rashid Khan's absence from the squad due to the recent back surgery is a big blow to the Afghans. There isn't much clarity on the participation of Ibrahim Zadran who had hurt his ankle. The visitors, on the other hand, have to pick one between Will Young and Devon Conway for the second opening spot alongside Tom Latham. Michael Bracewell is expected to make his return.

Central Contract Opt-Outs Are Straining Player Availability For New Zealand, Says Tim Southee

The rising trend of Kiwi cricketers forgoing national contracts to potentially ply their trade in T20 leagues has adversely impacted player availability for New Zealand, skipper Tim Southee admitted on Sunday. The likes former captain Kane Williamson, Devon Conway and Finn Allen this year joined a long list of players who have opted for a casual contract instead of New Zealand Cricket's central contract in order to pursue opportunities within franchise cricket. "NZC is working with the players and they are trying to come up with a solution that's best suited for the players and New Zealand cricket as a whole," Southee said on the eve of New Zealand's one-off Test against Afghanistan.

Not Getting Many Test Opportunities Breeds More Hunger, Says New Zealand Spinner Ajaz Patel

Disappointed that he did not get many opportunities to play Test cricket following his historic 10-wicket haul, Ajaz Patel believes that such setbacks only intensify the drive and ambition in New Zealand spinners to prove themselves in the subcontinent. Spinners from New Zealand frequently face a challenging environment at home to showcase their skills as pitches and conditions there offer more assistance to seamers. "If you ask all New Zealand spinners, it is difficult. Sometimes, obviously you don't get as many opportunities at home because of our home conditions," Patel told reporters here on Friday ahead of New Zealand's one-off Test against Afghanistan, which begins from September 9.
