AFG vs NZ (Pic Source-X) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has been cancelled due to bad weather, wet outfield and poor facilities. Not a single ball could be bowled in this entire Test match and both the teams had to face a lot of problems in all the 5 days. After there was no play for the first four days, all the cricket fans were expecting to see a great match between these two teams on the fifth day, but due to rain, neither the match started nor the toss took place at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida. Let us tell you that, there was rain for a short time on the first day of the only Test, after which it could not be fixed due to poor facilities. The match officials had no other option but to cancel this match. The Afghanistan Cricket Board gave this update today i.e. on 13 September, ‘It is still raining in Greater Noida and due to continuous rain, the fifth and final day’s play between Afghanistan and New Zealand has also been cancelled by the match officials.’ From the very beginning, many questions were raised about the schedule and ground of the Afghanistan Cricket Board. Even before this match, the Afghanistan team has played very few international test matches. Not only this, it was a very disappointing thing for the New Zealand team as well.

AFG vs NZ test match became a joke, Greater Noida stadium exposed the world’s richest cricket board
Play on the second day of the only Test is yet to begin due to wet outfield and poor facilities at the Greater Noida Sports Complex ground in Greater Noida. Greater Noida Stadium (Pic Source-X) The only Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand has started on 9 September. The first day of the Test match could not start due to rain. Not only this, the second day of the only Test match has also not started due to wet outfield and poor facilities at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida. The lack of modern facilities and inexperienced ground staff at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground has made it difficult to prepare the ground. The Board of Control for Cricket in India is being heavily criticized on social media for this. Let us tell you, it rained for a very short time on Monday i.e. 9 September and even after that the match has not started yet. There are also reports that it seems very difficult for the second day’s play to take place between these two teams. To start the match, the umpires inspected the ground and pitch 6 times throughout the day on 9 September. New Zealand captain Tim Southee, all-rounder Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra along with other players also inspected the ground, but mid-on and mid-wicket did not look good for playing, while many patches were visible even inside the 30-yard circle of the field. However, after the sun came out, it seemed for a while that the match could start, but the umpires finally admitted that a match cannot be held on such a pitch and ground on 9 September. This is the reason why the game could not start on the first day. The weather is clear on the second day but despite this the players of both the teams are eagerly waiting for the match to start. BCCI got a lot of flak on social media The Board of Control for Cricket in India is one of the richest boards in the world. Many people on social media are saying that if this ground was not completely suitable for the match then why was it declared as a venue. Let us tell you, this is the first test match being played between the two teams. After the first day of the match was cancelled, an official of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had said that there is a lot of mess here, we will never come back here. The players are also unhappy with the facilities here. He said that we had already talked to the concerned people and the people of the stadium had assured us that everything would be fine regarding media facilities. However, we have only seen disappointment here. Extremely poor and unprofessional behavior @ACBofficials for choosing such a poor&low standard ground for the only test of the year against a quality side of NZ.It’s been 2nd day, since no rain and the groundsmen unable to dry out the ground.Such a terrible scene.#AFGvNZ — Zia Afghan (@ziasayzz)…
