Afghanistan is likely to host India for a brief T20I series on Indian soil. If all the latest reports, as received on July 23, then it will be for the first time that a national cricket team will host the India National Cricket Team in India.
It is well known that Afghanistan shares a close bond with India. For a while now, the Afghanistan cricket team has been treating multiple Indian cricket grounds as their home venues.
If the plan goes in the right direction, then the Afghan cricket board could host the Indian cricket team for a three-match T20I series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the middle of September this year. For a long time, there have been rumors that the Afghan cricket team could host India for a limited-overs series.
Without any concrete confirmation from reliable sources, it was difficult to report anything related to the possible bilateral series.
Cricinfo on Thursday reported that these teams are likely to take on each other for a T20I series. Unofficial sources suggested that these three matches could be held on September 13, 15 and 17, respectively. Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium so far has appeared as the only speculated ground where the potential T20I series can be held.
When will the India vs Afghanistan T20I series be held?
However, official statements are yet to come regarding the series and the full fixtures. Between a two-match Test series tour of Sri Lanka and the upcoming Asian Games in Japan, there is a free window where the India vs Afghanistan T20I series could be placed.
India will face Sri Lanka for the first Test from August 15 to August 19, with the second and final Test match of the series to be held from August 23 to August 27.
After that, the long-awaited 2026 Asian Games will officially start on September 19, 2026, with the opening ceremony in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. From August 28 to the opening day of the 2026 Asian Games, there is a gap, which could be utilized with proper planning.
If these two teams steles for the bilateral contest, then it will be the second series between India and Afghanistan in 2026. Previously, before the Men in Blue’s tour of the United Kingdom, these two Asian teams faced each other for a one-off Test and three ODIs in June, followed by a three-match ODI series. It was India’s home tour, where they claimed all of those four games across the two different formats.
