Who’s at fault?
With two consecutive days of play abandoned, questions were raised on why did the
Afghanistan Cricket Board choose Greater Noida as its home venue?
“The BCCI offered us three venues - this one, Kanpur and Bengaluru, but
we chose Greater Noida as it was most convenient in terms of logistics. It was closer to Delhi and also connectivity from Kabul was better,” said Menhajuddin Naz, the international cricket manager at ACB.
“This has always been our home venue. We have hosted teams like Zimbabwe, Ireland here since 2016. Recently, during our discussions with the BCCI, this ground was offered and this was the best logistical venue for us,” Naz added.
