The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed on Wednesday (August 12) that Afghanistan will host India in a three-match T20I series in September 2026. The announcement was made through the Indian cricket team’s official X account.

According to the release, the Afghanistan men’s cricket team will face India in three T20Is at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on September 13, 15 and 17. All three matches will be played at the same venue.

India had played one Test and three ODIs against Afghanistan in June 2026, but that series was organised by the BCCI. The upcoming T20I series, however, will be hosted by Afghanistan, with the matches taking place in India.

“The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have confirmed that Afghanistan will host India for a three-match T20I series at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi from September 13 to 17, 2026,” the BCCI stated in its release.

“The series will get underway on September 13, with the second T20I scheduled for September 15 and the third on September 17. All three matches will be played at the same venue. The series is part of Afghanistan’s Future Tours Program and will be played in India, where Afghanistan has hosted its home fixtures in recent years,” it added.

India vs Afghanistan T20I series schedule

India last faced Afghanistan in a T20I on June 20, 2024, in Bridgetown, where they registered a 47-run victory in the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Overall, India and Afghanistan have faced each other nine times in T20Is, with India winning seven matches outright and another via the double Super Over.

The only other match that did not produce a winner was the gold-medal clash between the two teams at the Asian Games 2022, which was washed out due to rain in Hangzhou on October 7, 2023.
