Afghans-NZ Test faces complete washout after day four called off

block

Rain forced the fourth successive day of the only Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand to be called off on Thursday, leaving the match in danger of being washed out without a ball being bowled.

With overnight downpours adding to an already saturated Greater Noida ground, near New Delhi, umpires inspected before the scheduled start time of 9:30 am (0400 GMT) and declared that no play would be possible.

The toss is still to take place at Afghanistan’s adopted home ground, which has witnessed incessant rain for two weeks.
