Afghanistan A cricket team, also known as AfghanAbdalyan, is set to host a 50-overs tri-series in the UAE against Ireland A (Ireland Wolves) and Sri Lanka A. The three teams will compete in a seven-match tri-series, with all matches scheduled to be hosted by the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Afghanistan A and Ireland A teams recently crossed paths in a one-off four-day match, which Afghanistan A ended up winning by an innings and 194 runs.
The tri-nation 50-overs series will commence from Sunday, April 13 onwards and will run until April 25 later this month. Each of the three teams will be facing each other twice in a double round-robin format. The two sides occupying the top two positions at the end of the six-match preliminary stage will qualify for the final. All matches will have a kick-off time of 11:30 AM IST, i.e., 10:00 AM local time in the UAE.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced Afghanistan A’s squad for the tour late last month itself. Meanwhile, Cricket Ireland and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) recently dropped their squads as well, as the three competing teams aim to identify emerging talents and test their bench strengths.
