Really Disappointed, We're Excited To Play Against NZ, Says Trott On Test Washout
Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports: Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott said he was disappointed over the one-off Test against New Zealand being abandoned due to rain at Greater Noida, citing the team had trained really well for playing a longer format game.
The inaugural Test between the two teams could never happen as wet outfield and persistent rain played spoilsport at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex. Despite sun shining in the first two days of the match, the outfield was so wet that the toss couldn’t even happen. It has also become just the eighth Test match to be abandoned without a ball being bowled.
"We're disappointed. We'd geared ourselves up, and we'd trained really well. So really disappointed. To try and play a Test match this time of year is always tricky. Personally I was disappointed we were very excited to play against New Zealand and put ourselves up against the challenge of that.
