NEW DELHI: In the one-off Test beginning on Monday in Greater Noida, New Zealand will look to take advantage of Afghanistan's relative lack of red-ball cricket experience in order to gain momentum before their next World Test Championship challenges in the subcontinent.
Playing six consecutive long-format matches in the subcontinent-something they haven't done in forty years-the Black Caps will face formidable opposition in their first-ever Test against Afghanistan. The next few months will be demanding for the team.
