Afghanistan vs NZ Test Abandoned Due to Rain

The one-off Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand in Greater Noida was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain and poor facilities, marking the eighth such instance in Test cricket history. This was the first time a Test match in India has been completely washed out. The match faced logistical challenges, with inadequate drainage leading to a damp outfield and unfit playing conditions. This event highlights concerns about the venue's capacity to host high-profile matches. New Zealand will now proceed to their two-Test series in Sri Lanka, while Afghanistan prepares for an ODI series against South Africa in the UAE.
