Afghanistan will host India for a three-match T20 International series in Delhi this September [1, 2].
This series represents a significant step in the sporting relationship between the two nations, providing Afghanistan with high-profile home-ground experience despite the matches being held in India.
The T20I matches are scheduled for Sept. 13, Sept. 16, and Sept. 19, 2024 [1, 2]. All three games [1] will take place in Delhi, serving as the designated host city for the Afghan side [1, 2].
This engagement follows another set of fixtures between the two teams. Afghanistan is scheduled to tour India for a one-off Test match and three One Day Internationals starting June 6, 2024 [1, 2]. The June tour includes three ODIs [1] to complement the single Test match [1, 2].
While the T20I series in September is slated for the dates mentioned, the arrangement remains pending an official announcement [1, 2]. The scheduling of these matches ensures a consistent level of competition between the two sides throughout the 2024 calendar year, ranging from the longest format of the game to the shortest.
“Afghanistan will host India for a three-match T20 International series in Delhi this September”
The decision to host matches in Delhi under Afghanistan's designation highlights the ongoing logistical challenges Afghanistan faces in hosting international cricket at home. By playing 'home' series in India, Afghanistan maintains its international standing and gains critical match experience against a top-tier opponent.
