The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced on Tuesday that the Afghanistan men’s cricket team will tour India for a three-match T20I series in January.
The series will start on January 11 and run until January 17.
“The Afghanistan Cricket Board confirms that the Afghanistan national cricket team will tour India for a three-match T20I series in early January 2024. The three T20I matches are scheduled to be played on January 11, 14 and 17,” a statement from the ACB said.

The first match of the three-match T20I series is scheduled to be played on January 11 in Mohali, followed by the second and third matches on January 14 and 17 in Indore and Bengaluru, respectively.
While Afghanistan and India have crossed paths in several Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and ICC events, this series marks the first time these countries have participated in a multi-match white-ball series. The two teams 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 clinched the sixth spot on the points table after registering memorable victories against England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
