Afghanistan schedule 2023 World Cup: Complete Afghanistan match list, dates, venues and timings in IST 

Afghanistan's schedule for the 2023 World Cup has been announced. The Afghan team had a disappointing outing in the previous edition of the mega event, where they finished last in the standings after failing to win a single match.

Rashid Khan and Co. came close to defeating Sri Lanka, West Indies, India, and Pakistan at the grand stage in 2019, but lost plots in the dying moments. Having gained more experience in the last four years, Afghanistan will look to finish higher in the 2023 World Cup points table.

Afghanistan were one of the eight teams to earn a direct entry into the 2023 World Cup. Four years ago, they had to play the Qualifiers to earn a place in the grandest event, but they finished in the top eight of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table and secured a direct ticket this time.
