Overnight rain resulted in the toss again being delayed on Day 2 of the one-off cricket Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand at the Greater Noida Sports Complex near Delhi.
No play was possible on Day 1 because of a wet outfield, despite ground staff working hard to get the game started.
The toss was rescheduled for 9 am Tuesday but wet patches on the outfield — worsened by the rain — caused further delay. Umpires were due to inspect the pitch again at 12 noon local time.
This is Afghanistan’s third cricket test in 2024, following once-off matches against Ireland and Sri Lanka.
