NZ vs AFG Test 2nd Day: Only one Test match was to be played between Afghanistan and New Zealand, but due to the bad condition of the ground in Greater Noida, the game could not start even on the second day. On the first day, due to the ground being wet, let alone starting the game, even the toss could not take place. On the second day too, the condition of the ground has not improved. Now some new pictures have emerged that the ground staff has dug up the ground in an attempt to dry the playing field.
Dug up the ground and…
The toss was scheduled to take place at 9 am on Tuesday, the second day of the Test match, and the sun has been shining in Noida since morning. In such circumstances, the game should have started early, but in the pictures viral on social media, it can be clearly seen that the ground staff is busy repairing the ground by removing the turf inside the 30 yard circle. At the same time, the ground management came under more criticism when the staff was seen trying to dry the ground with the help of fans.
If the situation remains the same, then the second day’s game will also have to be cancelled because according to the forecast, there are chances of rain in Noida in the evening. Efforts are being made to dry not only the grass turf but also the pitch with the help of mats. The management is being criticized a lot due to the lack of facilities in an international ground.
Water and toilet facilities are also poor
If we recall the first day, the management of the Afghanistan cricket team presented the problems to the ground staff and there was a discussion between the two sides in this regard. Apart from the ground being wet, there have been reports of negligence in drinking water and even toilet facilities in the ground.
