Afghanistan cricket team will play their one-off Test match against New Zealand at their third venue in India – Greater Noida – after hosting their other two Test matches at Lucknow and Dehradun with the game getting under way at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Stadium from Monday (September 9). Rain and wet weather in Greater Noida is set to play havoc in the clash with the draining facilities at the Greater Noida stadium, which will host their first-ever Test match, already under the scanner.

Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi on Sunday (September 8) called for more Test matches for his side and a dedicated home venue in India to improve training and gain a competitive edge over their opponents. Afghanistan cannot play in their home country due to ongoing security issues, instead they have hosted matches at three venues in India – Greater Noida, Lucknow, Dehradun and the UAE.

“India is our home, and when we host teams, other nations have played more cricket here,” Shahidi said on the eve of the one-off Test against New Zealand.

“Hopefully, we will get a good venue here in India and if we restrict ourselves to one venue, it will be effective for us. Hopefully, the ACB and the BCCI will get us a good venue. If you see our records in first-class, it’s good because we play at our home ground. We know those conditions. Hopefully, in the future, there will be a time when the teams will travel to Afghanistan and our average will be higher,” he added.

Afghanistan have become a force to reckon with in the white-ball formats but since receiving the Test status in 2017, they have played just nine matches, most of them one-off fixtures.

“In six years, nine games is not more. We are new in this format. We need more experience. If we get more chances on a regular basis, we will improve a lot. It’s in the hands of the ACB and ICC. When it comes to Test cricket, some players are different from those who play in the leagues,” the Afghanistan skipper felt.

Shahidi, who has a Test double century, feels a longer run of red ball fixtures will help the Afghans hone their skills in format.
