KABUL: In a historic move, Afghanistan has announced that it will welcome Pakistan for a three-match T20 International (T20I) series in Sharjah, marking the first bilateral series between the neighboring countries. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) revealed that the series against Pakistan will kickstart their international home season for 2023-24.
The ACB’s official statement read, “Afghanistan’s international home season 2023-24 will begin with a three-game T20I series against Pakistan to be played in Sharjah on March 25, 27, and 29.”
Originally, Afghanistan was scheduled to commence their season with a one-day international series against Australia in March this year. However, Cricket Australia refused to play the series in protest against the treatment of women in Afghanistan, a war-torn country. The Australian cricket board had also denied hosting Afghanistan for a Test match in November 2021 for the same reason.
