Afghanistan is reportedly set to host India in an international cricket series for the first time, marking a significant moment in the growth of Afghan cricket. According to reports, Afghanistan will host a three-match T20 International series against India in September 2026, although the matches are expected to be played at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium.

The series is reportedly scheduled for September 13, 16, and 19, with official confirmation still awaited from the respective cricket boards. While Afghanistan has previously hosted international matches at neutral venues in India, this would be the first bilateral series in which Afghanistan is formally designated as the host against India.

The development reflects the close cricketing relationship between the two countries. India has long supported Afghan cricket by providing venues and facilities for training and international matches, helping Afghanistan establish itself as a competitive force in world cricket.

The proposed series comes as Afghanistan continues to make significant progress on the international stage, particularly in the T20 format. Cricket observers see the series as another important step in the nation’s sporting development and growing stature within the global game.
