One-off Test at SSC

The Afghanistan Cricket Board, announced the dates for Afghanistan’s all-formats away tour of Sri Lanka which will be held in February. Afghanistan will play a one-off Test followed by three ODIs and three T20Is. They will then head to the UAE where they will host Ireland for a full series which includes one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is.

The one-off Test will be played at the SSC in Colombo from 2 to 6 February. R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host the three ODIs on 9, 11 and 14 February. The teams will then travel to Dambulla for the three T20Is which will be played on 17, 19 and 21 February.

The tour of Sri Lanka initially included only the Test and the three T20Is but the ACB held talks with the SLC to facilitate the addition of the three ODIs. “The addition of these three ODIs is a significant move to ensure a complete and comprehensive tour which not only provides good exposure to Afghanistan Cricket but will also foster stronger relations between the two nations. Playing Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka is always tricky but is a challenge that Afghans can easily embrace,” said ACB Chairman Mirwais Ashraf.
