The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand will be played from September 9.
New Zealand cricket team’s star all-rounder Rachin Ravindra and fast bowler Ben Sears were recently seen taking training at the Super Kings Academy. It is worth noting that five-time IPL champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has established the Super Kings Academy not only in India, Tamil Nadu but also abroad.
It is worth noting that Rachin was successful in making his debut for CSK in IPL 2024. So now Rachin has got a chance to train with Ben Sears at the Super Kings Academy. Also, the Super Kings Academy has shared some photos of Rachin practicing on social media.

It is worth mentioning that Rachin Ravindra and Ben Seers are part of the New Zealand cricket team for the only Test match against Afghanistan. It is worth mentioning that the only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand will be played from 9th September at the Greater Noida Sports Complex ground. Let us tell you that recently BCCI has provided a new home ground to the Afghanistan cricket team in Greater Noida.
On the other hand, after playing the one-off Test match with Afghanistan, New Zealand have a few matches to play in the Indian subcontinent. After the one-off Test match against Afghanistan, New Zealand will be seen playing two Test matches against Sri Lanka followed by a three-match Test series with India.
So the Afghanistan cricket team recently announced a 20-member team against New Zealand. However, after practice and preparations in Greater Noida, the management will announce the final 15-member team against New Zealand. Hasmatullah Shahidi will lead the Afghan team against New Zealand. It will be interesting to see which team wins this one-off Test match?
