Afghanistan vs Windies: Unmemorable return to Test cricket for Lucknow

The Hindu  

The last time Lucknow hosted a Test match, internet was an alien term, T20 cricket hadn't been dreamt of and most of the current players of the Afghanistan team were not even born! As Test cricket returned to this part of the country after 25 years in the form of a one-off Test between Afghanistan and West Indies, one hoped cricket enthusiasts of the city would turn up to watch the new ‘home team’ in action. Even though the Afghanistan Cricket Board set up a ticket counter on the front gate of the stadium, there hasn’t been much demand. At a time when the International Cricket Council is taking initiatives to market Test cricket better, such a scenario is certainly a setback for the longer format of the game.
