Afghanistan vs New Zealand Faces Major Controversy at Greater Noida Stadium
Afghanistan vs New Zealand: A Test Gone Wrong
Day 2 of the one-off Test between Afghanistan vs New Zealand at Greater Noida Stadium was completely washed out due to poor drainage and rain, despite no rain for two days. The poor facilities have been criticized, with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) stating they may not return to Noida due to these conditions.
Unbelievable Scenes Emerge
Things took a turn for the worse when videos went viral showcasing groundsmen attempting to dry the pitch with electric fans and even cutting grass to patch up wet areas. However, the most shocking incident involved a catering worker seen using toilet water to clean utensils, igniting widespread outrage.
- Groundsmen's attempts to dry the pitch backfire
- ACB expresses concerns about infrastructure
- Photos of unsanitary cleaning methods raise eyebrows
Accountability and Future Implications
It's essential to note that the BCCI is not to blame for these mishaps at the Greater Noida Stadium. It was the Afghanistan cricket board's decision to host here over other options like Kanpur and Bengaluru. The situation casts doubt on the viability of future games in this venue.
