The UAE will host Afghanistan’s home games for the next five years, as per an agreement signed between the two cricket boards. The move was prompted by the political situation in Afghanistan which has not hosted international teams.
As part of the agreement, Test-playing nation Afghanistan will play UAE in a three-match T20I series in each of the five years.
“We are happy to support the ACB in ensuring that they have a home for their cricket,” general secretary of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Mubashir Usmani said in a statement.
