The Test match was originally scheduled to be held in November this year. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Cricket Australia had in September called-off the Test and decided to hold it at a later date.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The proposed Test will not be a part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship as it is limited to the top nine teams and does not include three Full Members in Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The match against Australia will be Afghanistan&#39;s fifth in red-ball cricket after they obtained Test status in 2017. They have lost Tests to India and the West Indies, but have registered wins against Ireland and Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia is currently hosting India in a four-match Test series and have taken a 1-0 lead following an emphatic eight-wicket win in the first match -- a pink-ball fixture -- played at the Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two teams will face each other in the second Test beginning Saturday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
