Afghanistan vs New Zealand Playing 11 and live toss time
The one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand is set to begin on September 9 (Monday) at the Saheed Vijay Singh Pathik Stadium in Greater Noida. Afghanistan will host the match, while New Zealand looks to use this opportunity to fine-tune their preparations ahead of their upcoming five Test matches in the Indian subcontinent.
This will mark New Zealand’s first-ever Test against Afghanistan, kicking off a challenging few months for the Black Caps, who are set to play six consecutive long-format matches in the subcontinent—something they haven’t done in four decades.
For Afghanistan, there is uncertainty surrounding the availability of opener Ibrahim Zadran, who was seen limping on the eve of the match. Captain Hasmatullah Shahidi expressed doubts about Zadran’s inclusion but refrained from revealing the final playing eleven ahead of the toss.
