Afghanistan to Host India in Historic T20 Series in New Delhi Ahead of Asian Games
Afghanistan is set to host India in a historic three-match T20 International series in New Delhi from September 13 to 17, marking the first time Afghanistan acts as the designated host on Indian soil. This arrangement arises from Afghanistan's ongoing political instability and lack of cricket infrastructure, which has led them to use Indian venues as home grounds. The series serves as preparation for both teams ahead of the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, fitting into a tight schedule amid potential overlapping series involving Bangladesh and other commitments.
