Afghanistan to host India in New Delhi for three T20Is: Report

New Delhi: The Afghanistan Cricket Board will host India for a three-match T20I series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on September 13, 15 and 17, according to a report.

Cricbuzz reported that the ACB's confirmation has cast serious doubts over India's proposed tour of Bangladesh, scheduled for September 1-13, which comprises six white-ball matches.

"The ACB hereby confirms that the India tour of Afghanistan 2026 (Event) is scheduled to take place from September 13 to September 17," ACB CEO Naseeb Khan was quoted as saying in a letter to the board's commercial partners.


"The ACB further confirms that the dates of the Event have been confirmed and agreed with the BCCI and the venues of the scheduled matches have also been finalised," he added.

The ACB is said to have stated in its letter that an official public announcement regarding the "event" is yet to be made by the authorities. However, the board issued the letter as an "official confirmation of the scheduled dates and venues" for India's tour of Afghanistan.
