Challenges in Playing the Match
The field umpire is going to check whether it is possible to play the match between Afghanistan and New Zealand at 3 pm. A final decision will be taken regarding the match. But looking at the dampness on the outfield, the match seems to have become more difficult.
Although Tuesday is a sunny day, it is taking time to repair the damage caused by the rains of the past few days. As a result, the match could not start. The New Zealand team enjoyed a game of rugby ball considering the delay in the opening match. But on Tuesday, the team preferred to stay at the hotel.

Disappointment from the Afghanistan Cricket Board
The Afghanistan team has been hosting several T20 and ODI matches at this ground since 2017 with the help of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has expressed its disappointment over the interruption of the Test match against New Zealand. But they will not ignore the fact that the cordial relationship with the BCCI will continue.
According to media reports, the Afghanistan official said there is a lack of facilities at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathit Stadium in Greater Noida. So we won’t play here anymore. Lucknow will be our first choice, said the concerned official. On the other hand, the New Zealand team has not given any reaction in this regard.
