The Afghanistan Cricket Board announced that the national cricket team will travel to India in Jauza 1405 for a series hosted by the Indian Cricket Board, consisting of one international Test match and three international one-day matches against the Indian national team.
The series will begin with the Test match from 16 to 20 Jauza at the new Chandigarh stadium in Punjab state. Following the Test, the teams will play three one-day internationals: the first on 24 Jauza in Dharamsala, the second on 27 Jauza in Lucknow, and the third on 30 Jauza in Chennai.
