GREATER NOIDA: It was a bright and sunny day as one reached the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathak Cricket Stadium here in the morning on Monday. Naturally, the general assumption was that of a full day's play between Afghanistan and New Zealand - the two teams squaring up against each other for the first time in the Test arena.
Players from both sides were out there in the ground, but had to pass their time being involved in some side activities instead of showcasing their cricketing skills on the first day of the Test.
