Afghanistan A vs Sri Lanka A in UAE 2025: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details

The Afghanistan A cricket team, also known as AfghanAbdalyan, will face Sri Lanka A in a one-off four-day match at the iconic Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The match will conclude Afghanistan’s nearly month-long tour of the UAE, which commenced with a one-off four-day match against Ireland A on April 7.

After Afghanistan A beat the Irish by an innings and 194 runs, both teams, along with Sri Lanka A, competed in a seven-match 50-over tri-series. Despite being the designated host of the entire series, Afghanistan failed to qualify for the final as they managed to secure just a solitary win from four matches. Sri Lanka A topped the points table with an unbeaten run while Ireland A also registered just one win, albeit with a higher NRR than Afghanistan.

Nonetheless, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) named a 16-player Afghanistan A squad for the four-day first-class match against Sri Lanka A in tandem with the announcement of the squad for the 50-over tri-series. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) also named their squad a few days ago for the one-off affair.

On that note, let’s take a look at the schedule, squads, match timings, and other details regarding the Afghanistan A vs Sri Lanka A one-off match in UAE 2025:
