We're Frustrated To Lose The Opportunity To Be Match-ready, Says NZ Coach Stead
Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports: New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said the most disappointing aspect of their one-off Test against Afghanistan being abandoned without a ball being bowled was not getting the opportunity to be match-ready for the longer format after six months.
Persistent rain and wet outfield at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida meant the first-ever Test match between the two teams never happened. It’s also earned the distinction of becoming just the eighth Test to be abandoned without a ball being bowled.
"It’s worth noting there’s been 1200mm of rain in the last week, and even though it was fine for those two days there were thunderstorms the nights before. The ground was just too soft and the umpires deemed that unfit to play on. Our guys have been in the gym and working away.
