India will host Afghanistan for a three-match T20I series in Delhi from September 13 to 17, effectively ruling out Bangladesh’s proposed September tour. The series, part of Afghanistan’s FTP, will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, with the BCCI and ACB highlighting their growing bilateral cricketing ties.
New Delhi: Bangladesh's hopes of hosting India for a long-pending white-ball rubber in September seem all but over with the BCCI announcing that Shreyas Iyer and his men will face Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series in Delhi from September 13 to 17.
The BCCI and the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced the series in a joint statement on Wednesday, the window for which clashes with the plans that Bangladesh had proposed.
The Indo-Bangla bilateral series had to be postponed last year due to the political unrest in that country.
The games against Afghanistan are a part of ACB's Future Tours Programme. They are being treated as a home assignment for the ACB, which has made India a base for conducting games in recent years due to the volatile political situation in Afghanistan.
