The third day’s match was cancelled due to rain. infoNew Zealand vs Afghanistan. (Photo Source: X(TWitter/BlackCapz) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was to be played at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida, but in the three-day game, the toss has not even taken place. Due to rain and bad outfield, the game was spoiled on the first and second day, while the same happened on the third day. There was not much rain at night, but on the third day, rain started from the morning itself. Due to this, the officials cancelled the third day’s play at the beginning of the third day itself. In this way, the coin could not be tossed on the third day as well. Now the chances of this match happening are very less and there is a high chance that the match may be cancelled. This test match was to be played from 9 September but it rained that night so the match did not start at its scheduled time. Although the pitch was fine for the match, some parts of the outfield were flooded. AFG vs NZ: Test match did not start despite the efforts of the ground staff The ground staff tried their best to start the match, but they were unsuccessful. The umpires and match officials inspected the pitch and the ground several times, but despite several inspections, the toss could not be conducted in this match. On the second day, the ground staff used a new trick and wherever there was water on the ground, the grass and land was dug out and the grass from the practice ground was planted there. But still nothing special was achieved from this. Despite the grass being planted, there was water in some parts and the ground was not suitable for playing the match. Due to this, the match was cancelled on the second day as well. The match was expected to start on the third day, but the ground had become wet again due to the rain at night. More than half of the ground was covered, but still there was water in many parts. Apart from this, there was heavy rain at the time of the match starting on the third day and the situation became even worse. Due to this, the third day’s play had to be canceled. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has said that if the conditions are good on the fourth day, then the match will start at 9 o’clock and 98 overs will be played. But this does not seem possible right now.
There was a ruckus over the AFG vs NZ match, a conspiracy to defame BCCI was revealed
The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has started on 9th September. However, not even a single ball has been bowled in this match yet. Greater Noida Stadium (Pic Source-X) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has started on 9th September. However, not even a single ball has been bowled in this match so far. Let us tell you, the game could not start on the first day of this only Test due to rain. It rained only for a short time but due to wet outfield and lack of proper facilities, not even a single ball could be bowled on the first and second day of the match. According to the report, the manager of Greater Noida Sports Complex Stadium did not take Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association into the loop for the only Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand. The officials of Afghanistan Cricket Board were also at fault in this. Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association had called several times to organize a meeting so that they could also know what things are urgently needed by the board and the players. Not only this, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association also said that the match should be held in Green Park because UP T20 league is being played in Ekana Cricket Stadium. However, people of Greater Noida Authority and some officials of Afghanistan Cricket Board organized this match in the rain to make money. Not only this, laborers were taken from Labor Chowk to manage the ground. This is the reason that there was no facility in Greater Noida Sports Complex Stadium to protect the ground from rain. UPCA makes super sopper available: Report The report also believes that after a WhatsApp was sent to a person from UPCA, the super sopper was made available to him by the association. Let us tell you that this is the first time a Test match is being played between Afghanistan and New Zealand. Before this, a Test match has never been played between these two teams. At present, all cricket fans would be wishing to see these two teams performing well on the third day of the game.

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)…

They have class in the form of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, but there is no one else to follow. That’s why I’m excited to see what youngsters Riaz Hassan and Bahir Shah have to offer. They are both promising and have averages over 55 in first class. Signs of a strong future for India were seen in the 2000s when Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif came up from the Under 19s to the team. That’s why these 2 players could give Afghanistan a peak at what it can achieve over the next decade. See this post of Ashwin This one off Test will be fun to watch.

Notably, there is no super sopper on the ground and there are not enough covers to protect the field beyond the 30-yard circle. Afghanistan captain Hasmatullah Shahid made fun of the wet ground The condition of the ground prompted heavy criticism from Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahid, who jokingly remarked that they should have brought swimming gear as it was a good place to swim. “Boys, we should have brought swimming gear with us.

Earlier in July, the BCCI gave the Afghanistan Cricket Board an NOC to host its home matches in India after a gap of four years. Afghanistan was initially scheduled to host Bangladesh in a full-fledged series against Bangladesh, consisting of three Tests and a few white-ball games. However, due to the extreme heat wave in North India during this period, the series was postponed.
