Overall, we are excited to host and play Pakistan in what will be a thrilling series of cricket games between the two countries,” Mirwais Ashraf mentioned.

“I am delighted that inaugural Pakistan versus Afghanistan T20I series will be played later this month in a city that has a large ex-pat community and which has always supported cricketers from both countries,” Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Najam Sethi mentioned.

“The PCB and ACB enjoy a strong and cordial relationship that goes back to the 1990s. Even today, Afghanistan players are hugely popular in the PSL. I am sure when cricketers from both sides will wear national jerseys for the upcoming international series, they will demonstrate the highest levels of performances and entertain the passionate and cricket-loving crowds.” he added.
