Afghanistan-New Zealand Test washed out without a toss in Noida

The cricket Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand, scheduled for Noida, India, has been washed out amid rain and a wet outfield.

Although the weather was good and the sun was shining on the first two days of the Test match, the outfield was wet, raising questions about the staff’s preparation of the ground. On the remaining three days, both teams could not enter the field as rain continued to pour down.

On the last day of the match, umpires inspected the ground, but due to the accumulation of water in the ground and the wet outfield, the match ended without a toss.

In the history of Test cricket since 1890, only seven matches have ended without a single ball being bowled. The last time it happened was in 1998, when a game between India and New Zealand in Dunedin was abandoned due to rain.
