AFG-NZ Test: Opening Day Called-off Due To Wet Outfield
Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground: The opening day of the one-off Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was called off without a ball being bowled due to wet outfield at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground on Monday.
Despite being a sunny day, the drainage facilities at the venue could not soak the burden of overnight rain that left the playing area dampened. There was not a single cover on the ground and super-soppers were at work to make the outfield ready for the play.
However, multiple inspections raised the issue of wet outfield and the run-up area for the bowlers which were never deemed fit enough for the toss to take place.
