India to play three T20Is against Afghanistan in September in Delhi
India are set to lock horns with Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series in September, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirming the assignment. The series will be held at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, and the first T20I will be played on September 13. The second and third matches will take place on September 15 and 17, respectively. Notably, India and Afghanistan last faced each other in a T20I bilateral series in January 2024.
“The BCCI remains committed to supporting the growth of cricket in Afghanistan and providing its players with opportunities to compete at the highest level. Bilateral cricket is an important part of this, as it allows teams to play regularly against quality opposition and gain valuable experience. We welcome the Afghanistan Cricket Board to India for this series and look forward to working closely with them to make it a successful one. We believe there is scope to do more together and will continue to support Afghanistan cricket while strengthening the relationship between the two cricketing nations,” BCCI president Mithun Manhas said in a statement.
Earlier this year in June, Afghanistan were in India for a one-off Test and a three-match ODI series, demonstrating the growing cricketing ties between both nations. However, in both assignments they had to face disappointment, with India sweeping the ODI series 3-0 and winning the only Test by an innings and 300 runs.
Fixtures:
1st T20I - September 13 - Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, Delhi
2nd T20I - September 15 - Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, Delhi
3rd T20I - September 17 - Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, Delhi
