INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Afghanistan&s one-off test against New Zealand risks being abandoned without a ball being bowled after play was called off for the fourth
consecutive day due to rain in India&s Greater Noida region.Rain has lashed the region for the past two weeks and it was more of the same on
Thursday when umpires called off play at the Shahid Vijay Singh Pathik Sport Complex.With more rain forecast for the rest of the week, the
contest looks likely to become just the eighth test to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, Reuters reported.It is the first test to be
played at the venue, which has hosted Afghanistan&s 11 ‘home& limited-overs matches.An Afghanistan Cricket Board official has said they
preferred Greater Noida over two other venues in India because of its proximity to Delhi, which made traveling from Kabul easier.Match
referee Javagal Srinath&s report to the International Cricket Council (ICC) will determine if the venue would incur any sanctions from the
governing body.The post Another day lost to rain in Afghanistan v NZ Test in India first appeared on Ariana News.
