Afghanistan Prepares to Face India in T20I Series at Arun Jaitley Stadium
Afghanistan's cricket team, led by captain Ibrahim Zadran, is preparing to face India in a three-match T20I series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, marking their first bilateral series hosted on Indian soil. Afghanistan has developed into a strong limited-overs side but has yet to secure a win against India despite close contests. India will field a near full-strength squad, including the returning fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. The series also serves as preparation for India's upcoming Asian Games campaign, with high stakes including Olympic qualification for the gold medalists.
