The tri-series hosted by Afghanistan will occur right before the T20 World Cup 2021 if things go according to plan. The ICC event hosted by the UAE and Oman is scheduled to run from October 17.
ACB CEO Hamid Shinwari confirmed to ESPNCricinfo that the series has been confirmed but the venue is yet to be finalized.
Shinwari added that the current management is supportive and the Afghanistan team will play a one-off Test against Australia in November as scheduled.
The first-ever Test between Afghanistan and Australia is scheduled to take place at Hobart from November 27.
This will be the first international outing for Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover in the country
Here is the list of all T20 World Cup super over in all editions so far, watch them here.
The ICC and other cricketing bodies have been watching the developments in Afghanistan closely due to the political situation in the country. There has been uncertainty surrounding the cricket schedule ever since the Taliban took control of the country last month.
The scheduled tri-series will be the first international outing for the Afghanistan national side after this development. It will be a big step in the positive direction for cricket in the nation if the series goes through as planned.
However, the dates will clash with the second leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Many star players from the three teams may miss out on the series due to their commitments to their IPL franchises.
