Rashid Khan, Afghanistan's star all-rounder, was not part of the travelling group as the ACB have decided to give him a rest ahead of a grueling cricket schedule. The Afghans will be lead by Hashmatullah Shahidi whereas the BlackCaps will be lead by Tim Southee.
The AFG vs NZ One-off Test is a landmark event, as this is the first meeting between the Kiwis and the Afghanis in Test match cricket and will be taking place at the former's adopted home in Greater Noida.
