Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground: The second day of the one-off Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was also called off without a ball being bowled due to wet outfield at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground, here on Tuesday.

Following this, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) released a statement revealing why they picked this particular ground to host the match.

“We considered three potential venues in India – Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Greater Noida. Unfortunately, the other two were unavailable due to BCCI's domestic matches, and the UAE's extreme heat made it unsuitable for hosting a Test match. Given New Zealand's busy schedule, we chose Greater Noida to ensure this important fixture takes place,” read the statement.
