Afghanistan to tour India for T20 series in January

ATLANTA (Pajhwok): The Afghanistan team will tour India for a three-match T20 series in January 2024, the board said on Wednesday.

The first of the three-match T20I series is scheduled for January 11 in Mohali, followed by the second and third encounters on January 14 and 17 in Indore and Bengaluru,

Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) Chairman Mirwais Ashraf said in addition to the T20 series, they would also discuss bilateral cooperation with the Indian Cricket Board.

While Afghanistan and India have crossed paths in various Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and ICC events, this series marks the first time these nations will engage in a multi-match white-ball series.

Both sides have met in five T20I matches so far, with India winning all of them.

Afghanistan recently visited India for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, where they secured the 6th position on the points table after registering memorable victories against England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
