It has been raining cats and dogs since the last evening in the Greater Noida and surrounding areas. The sports complex ground is submerged and many puddles can be easily seen. The day has been called off.
The ground is completely under the water. When it was not possible to start the game yesterday when there was no rain, it was a brainer to call off Day 3 with such a heavy downpour. Teams had not come from their hotels.
Greater Noida was set to become the newest Test venue in the world of cricket but the game has not been able to start since Day 1 and it is quite clear that the venue will not host any Test match for a long time. The Afghanistan Cricket Board is unhappy with the equipment and drainage system.
Day 3 of the only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has been abandoned due to heavy rain. We will join you tomorrow. That's all for today. Thanks and Goodbye!
