The Afghanistan cricket team is all set to lock horns against New Zealand in a one-off Test match, which is set to commence from September 9 to 13. The game is set to take place in Greater Noida, in the host country, India. This upcoming one-off Test match marks the first time in history the two sides will be facing each other in the red-ball game. In addition, it will also be their first Test match at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground, which has previously been Afghanistan's adopted home ground.

On the other hand, New Zealand has named a strong squad for the forthcoming Test match. The majority of the squad seems identical to the one that lost 2-0 to Australia earlier this year, with right-arm pacer Tim Southee once being named as the captain of the team with the likes of Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, and Kane Williamson.

Notably, the upcoming Test match will be crucial for Kiwis who quest to qualify for the WTC Final 2025, with the Black Caps currently placing in the third spot just behind India and Australia.

The cricket fans have a great opportunity to watch the international Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand for free of charge at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex from September 9 to 13.
