DTVHINDIAFG 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)…

This veteran player can replace Gautam Gambhir in IPL 2025, has an old relationship with RR
IPL defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are in talks with Kumar Sangakkara for the role of mentor. In 2024, they appointed Gautam Gambhir as the mentor and the team finally managed to win the trophy. Soon after, the former cricketer was offered the role of India’s head coach, which he accepted. With Gambhir’s departure, the position of head coach is now vacant in the team. Meanwhile, Sangakkara has been associated with Rajasthan Royals since 2021. He has done a commendable job with the team as under his leadership the franchise played the IPL final in 2022 and finished third in 2024. However, according to recent media reports, former India head coach Rahul Dravid may now join Rajasthan in the role of coach. At the same time, the franchise has ended its contract with Sangakkara. Vikram Rathore can become the batting coach of RR Reports also state that former India batting coach Vikram Rathod is likely to join RR. Keeping this in mind, Sangakkara has reportedly decided to part ways with the franchise. According to The Telegraph, talks are on between Kumar Sangakkara and KKR, but he also has offers from other franchises. The former Sri Lankan international is considering his options and may take a decision in the next few days. KKR already has Chandrakant Pandit as head coach and Bharat Arun as bowling coach but they have to fill other positions as well. Batting coach Abhishek Nair and fielding coach Ryan ten Doeschate joined the Indian team after Gambhir became the head coach. The franchise is currently looking for their replacements as well. The Shreyas Iyer-led side also wants to retain most of its players for the upcoming edition of the tournament. Co-owner Shah Rukh Khan has already spoken about this in the BCCI meeting with the IPL franchises in July.
