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.

They have previously hosted other teams in Test cricket in Dehradun, Lucknow and Abu Dhabi. Interestingly, the Afghanistan vs New Zealand Test in Greater Noida is not a part of the current ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25. We will tell you why. Why is Afghanistan vs New Zealand Test match not part of ICC World Test Championship 2023-25?

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)…

Ashwin gave the key to Afghanistan’s victory Let us tell you that before the start of Afghanistan’s only Test match against New Zealand, Ashwin has shared a post from his official X account. In this post, Ashwin said – This only Test will be fun to watch. We know that Afghanistan produces amazing talent, but the solidity and stability they need will be their batting department. 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. We know Afghanistan produce insane talent but the one area of solidity and stability they need is from their batting department. They have Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat shah oozing class but not much else to follow, and that is why I am… pic.twitter.com/e6REqHdMsI — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 7, 2024 Afghanistan squad for the one-off Test against New Zealand Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hasan, Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Baheer Shah Mehboob, Ikram Ali Khil (wicketkeeper), Shahidullah Kamal, Afsar Zazai (wicketkeeper), Azmatullah Omarzai, Zia ur Rehman Akbar, Shams ur Rehman, Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Nijat Masood, Khalil Ahmed.

The Kiwi team is to play a Test match series against Afghanistan between 9 and 13 September, which will be held at the Sports Complex in Greater Noida. After coming to India, New Zealand has made two legendary coaches a part of its team. They have added Vikram Rathore to their coaching staff for this one-off Test. Let us tell you, Rathore’s tenure as batting coach with Team India has recently ended. New Zealand also has to play a three-match Test series against Team India in India in October, considering which this is being considered a big move by the Kiwi team. Apart from Vikram Rathore, New Zealand has also appointed Sri Lankan veteran Rangana Herath as spin bowling coach for this Test match, who will work with spinners like Ajaz Patel, Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra in Indian conditions. Vikram Rathore joined the Kiwi team New Zealand Cricket wrote in its press release that Sri Lankan spin bowler Rangana Herath has been appointed as the spin bowling coach for the three Test matches to be held in Asia. He will replace former Pakistan spinner and coach Saqlain Mushtaq, who was earlier announced to take up the temporary role but later withdrew his name to take up a position with the Pakistan Cricket Board. Let us tell you, after the only Test against Afghanistan, New Zealand has to tour Sri Lanka where they have to play a two-Test series from September 18. This series will be a part of the WTC. These two veterans can be very useful for New Zealand in Asian conditions. Blackcaps coach Gary Stead said that Herath and Rathore will not only give new information to the team but will also give information about the local conditions. He said, “We are very excited to have Rangana and Vikram join our Test group. Both players are highly respected in the cricket world and I know our players are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to learn from them. It will be very beneficial for our three left-arm orthodox spinners, especially Ejaz, Mitch and Rachin, to have the opportunity to work with Rangana in three Test matches in the subcontinent.”
