The team will be in Colombo for the ODI series, playing all matches at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium. After that, they’ll head to Dambulla for the T20Is. Following this, the Blue Tigers will move to the UAE, hosting Ireland from February 28 to March 18. During this period, they will play a Test match and three white-ball format matches. The Test match will take place at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, while the white-ball series will be held in Sharjah. The ODIs are scheduled for March 7, 9, and 12, and the T20Is will begin on March 15. Naseeb Khan, CEO of the Afghanistan Cricket Board, believes that these series, along with the upcoming trip to India, will strengthen the team for future challenges, including the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA in June.

“The year 2024 is a very busy and full of high-voltage competitions for the Afghanistan national team”, Naseeb began.

“The upcoming tours of India, Sri Lanka, and then the home series against Ireland will help us to prepare the team for the much-important T20 World Cup. (We’re) eagerly looking forward to the multiple series.”

Afghanistan’s T20I tour of India starts on January 11 in Mohali.
