KABUL 08 Mar (Online): Afghanistan announced on Tuesday it will host Pakistan for three Twenty20 Inter\u00acnationals in Sharjah later this month, the first bilateral series between the neighbours.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said their home season will start with the series against Pakistan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfghanistan\u2019s international home season 2023-24 will begin with a three-match T20I home series against Pakistan to be played in Sharjah on March 25, 27 and 29,\u201d said a ACB release.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan was due to start its season with a One-day International series against Australia in March this year but Cricket Australia (CA) refused to play in protest at the treatment of women in the war-torn country.<\/p>\n

CA had also refused to host Afghanistan for a Test match in November 2021 for the same reason.<\/p>\n

ACB chairman Mirwais Ashraf welcomed Pakistan\u2019s decision to play his team.
\n\u201cWe appreciate Pakistan Cricket Board\u2019s willingness to play Afghanistan in March. This is a significant accomplishment for the two neighbouring countries,\u201d Ashraf said in the statement.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan have played Pakistan in three T20 Internationals and four ODIs in multi-national events (without any win so far) but this will be the first bilateral series between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, chairman of the PCB Interim Management Committee Najam Sethi welcomed the series, source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted that the inaugural Pakistan versus Afghanistan T20I series will be played later this month in a city that has a large expat community and which has always supported cricketers from both the countries,\u201d a PCB press release quoted Sethi as saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
