Afghanistan-New Zealand Test cancelled due to rain
The Afghanistan-New Zealand one-off Test has been cancelled due to rain. It rained in Noida since Friday morning and the ground was flooded. In such a situation, the last day's play also had to be cancelled. The Afghanistan Cricket Board said - 'It is still raining in Greater Noida. The match officials have also cancelled the 5th and final day's play due to continuous rain.'
For the first time in the history of Test cricket, a Test match in India has been cancelled without a ball being bowled. This is the 8th match overall. The New Zealand Cricket Board, popularly known as the Blackcaps, informed about the cancellation of the Test through this post. The team will leave for Sri Lanka on Saturday, September 14, where the Kiwis have to play a Test series.
A match cancelled after 26 years
After 26 years, a Test match has been cancelled without a ball being bowled. Earlier this happened in 1998, when the Dunedin Test between India and New Zealand was cancelled. A total of 7 matches have been cancelled so far. This happened for the first time in the England-Australia match in the year 1890.
