Overview
- Multiple outlets reported late July that the Afghanistan Cricket Board has proposed a three‑match T20I series against India to be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium on September 13, 15 and 17, though the dates remain provisional.
- Under the unusual arrangement Afghanistan would be the official host while matches are staged on Indian soil, giving the ACB responsibility for match‑day operations and commercial rights.
- FanCode has confirmed it holds the digital streaming rights and ITW Universe is managing media and marketing for the ACB, while television rights are still unassigned and expected to be bid for separately.
- The schedule is contingent on formal sign‑offs by the BCCI and government and could shift if India accepts a proposed white‑ball tour of Bangladesh in early September, creating a tight calendar before the Asian Games.
- The plan offers both sides match practice before the late‑September Asian Games and highlights how Afghanistan has long relied on Indian and UAE venues to host international cricket because it cannot stage fixtures at home.
