Team India's proposed three-match T20I series against Afghanistan depends on the upcoming white-ball tour of Bangladesh. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has scheduled the three T20Is at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on September 13, 15, and 17, but the dates could change if the Bangladesh tour takes place.
Notably, the Government of India invited Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to the BRICS Summit. If the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) hosts Team India from September 1 to 13, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will revise the series schedule between India and Afghanistan in Delhi.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board has tentatively scheduled the three-match T20I series against India on September 13, 15, and 17 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. However, the dates could change if India's proposed white-ball tour of Bangladesh goes ahead, as per Cricbuzz.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board is planning to host India for six white-ball matches from September 1 to 13. Notably, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to take a final call after receiving guidance from the Government of India.
The Men in Blue will finish their Test series against Sri Lanka on August 27 and begin their Asian Games 2026 campaign on September 24. They will then host the West Indies in a white-ball series from September 27.
Afghanistan to Host India at Arun Jaitley Stadium
Afghanistan cannot host international cricket at home, and they have chosen the Arun Jaitley Stadium as their home venue. This will create the unusual situation of India playing as the official away team despite the matches being held in New Delhi.
Bhairav Shanth, co-founder of ITW Universe, explained how the responsibilities will be shared between the two boards.
"Our understanding is that there is some sort of agreement between the ACB and the BCCI for the matches, and they will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. We will handle the media and marketing rights, while the ACB will handle the match-day logistics and operations."
"For the first time Afghanistan will be hosting India."
The ACB had initially considered Sharjah as the venue. However, both boards later agreed to play the series in India. Earlier this year, Afghanistan toured India for a one-off Test and a three-match ODI series, and they will now return for a T20I series as the designated hosts.
FanCode Secures Digital Rights for the Series
The broadcast arrangements will be different from India's regular home internationals because Afghanistan is the official host. JioStar will not hold the broadcast rights for the series.
FanCode has already secured the digital streaming rights for all three T20Is. The television rights are still available, with Zee, Sony Sports, and JioStar expected to compete for the linear broadcast rights
ITW Universe is managing the media and marketing rights on behalf of the ACB, while the Afghanistan board will oversee all match-day operations. An official announcement on the final schedule and broadcast partners is expected after the BCCI decides whether India will tour Bangladesh.
