To say that the preparations by the Greater Noida Stadium, for the AFG vs NZ Test were inadequate, would be an understatement. On the supposed day 2 of the match, the toss is yet to happen, let alone players taking the field. Overnight rains has been a problem for the venue, and the absence of modern-day drying facilities have been a major cause of an embarrassment for the country.
Poor Facilities for AFG vs NZ at Greater Noida Stadium
To top it all, the off-field facilities like the catering department for the AFG vs NZ match, seems to have fallen short of expectations. On Tuesday, the hygiene standards from the catering department fell to a new low. As per a report in SportsTak, one of the members of the team was seen washing the utensils and filling the water from the tap of a washroom.

An ACB official had already expressed his displeasure over playing in Greater Noida. “There are no facilities. We will never come here again. Our preference will be Lucknow,” the official told SportsTak.
“There are no basic facilities. There is complete mismanagement at the venue. Even the players are not happy with good, training facilities and everything”.
