Afghanistan will soon take on Ireland in a full three-format series. Set to be played in India, the series, comprising 3 T20Is, 5 ODIs and a solitary Test, will commence on 21 February.
The series, which will be hosted by Afghanistan, will be played entirely at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. It may be noted that the only Test in the upcoming bilateral series will be marking the maiden game in whites between the two new full members.
While Afghanistan will be looking to gain momentum ahead of their World Cup campaign, Ireland will be looking to avenge its loss to the same opposition in the World Cup Qualifiers held last year.
