Why didn't they just go to the UAE like Pakistan used to?
Afghanistan has gone even further down my list of countries to visit after this fiasco.
Absolutely ridiculous
you realise this is in India right?

I do now.
I was reading the comments about “home games” and let the outrage take over without proofreading.
Sorry Afghanistan, you’re back on the list exactly where you were.

In fairness, it sounds like the hosting fee was substantial (reading between the lines) ... but this is a private cricket ground. It got dropped by teh BCCI for tournament games.
It's been a debacle; playing in monsoon season and then not coping with a bit of rain.
-
I dont know why anyone is complaining if there are 3 days of play, that is long enough for us to be bowled out twice

Persistent rain forces Day 3 of Greater Noida Test to be called off
Afghanistan tour of India 2024, Afghanistan vs New Zealand Match Report: Play was abandoned as early as 9.15am local time, 15 minutes before the scheduled start
Not much of a match report……

@nzzp Seemingly BCCI offered Afghanistan other grounds but they chose this one because of proximity to Delhi
Sort of screws NZ's faint chances in the WTC
nah, we're good. From ESPN:
From the WTC playing conditions, "An abandoned match will be treated as a draw. But if the match is abandoned because of an unfit pitch or outfield, the home team will be penalised, and points for a win will be awarded to the visiting side."

...but turns out this isn't a WTC fixture I don't think. If it is, AFG aren't on the WTC table.
Who the heck knows any more
Yes, Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe are test playing nations but not part of the WTC.

Imagine going to some shithole in north India to play cricket and not even getting a game. It would be like us making a touring side play on the Chatham Islands in April then the game getting rained out.

This is just typical, NZ get scheduled to play a game during the back end of the monsoon season at a ground that's sketchy anyway. This would never happen to the likes of India, England or Australia. Just goes to show where NZ sit in the world of cricket really.

Indeed.
It’s the big three, the rest and then the bottom feeders like Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe

At least you would get an awesome feed of crayfish and blue cod on the Chathams
