Before a ball was bowled on the second day of the Test match against India, Afghanistan players celebrated Eid Al Fitr at Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy Stadium.

In a picture shared by the BCCI, India’s governing body for cricket, Afghanistan skipper Asghar Stanikzai, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Shahzad, and other members greeted each other on the field, wearing traditional Afghani attire. Before they arrived at the venue, the entire touring squad visited a local mosque in the morning.

Afghanistan are playing in their first-ever Test match after being awarded Test status last June.
