AFG vs NZ:\u00a0<\/strong>The Afghanistan vs New Zealand (AFG vs NZ) one-off Test match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled, becoming only the eighth Test in the history of cricket to be called off. The Greater Noida Test became the first Test since 1998 which witnessed no action whatsoever with the last one being India vs New Zealand in Dunedin.<\/p>\n

Several reports have claimed lack of facilities at the venue and a substandard drainage system as well as an untrained ground staff which led to the match not even witnessing the captains walking out for toss despite there being no rain on the first two days of the Test.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The one-off Test against Afghanistan has officially been called off early on day five following further rain in Noida. <\/p>\n

With the Greater Noida Sports Stadium being a clay-based venue, unlike most other venues which are sand based, the outfield was never able to recover and persisten rains from Day 3 onwards it seemed unlike at all stages that there would be play with the teams not even bothering to report to the ground.<\/p>\n
