The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was to be played in Greater Noida from September 9. But due to rain, wet outfield and poor arrangements, not a single ball could be bowled in the first 4 days. The toss could not even take place during the four days of the match. Now it seems quite possible that this match will now be cancelled without a toss.
If this match is cancelled without a ball being bowled, then the name of this match will be recorded in history. This will be the 8th such test match in cricket history which will be cancelled without a ball being bowled. Before this, there have been 7 such matches which have been cancelled without a ball being bowled. The first such case happened in 1890, when the Old Trafford test match between Australia and England was cancelled. While in a similar manner, the last and 7th test match was cancelled in 1998.
