Afghanistan’s national cricket team will play a Test match and a three-match One-Day International series against India in June 2026, according to a schedule announced Monday by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

The one-off Test between Afghanistan and India will be held in New Chandigarh from June 6 to June 10. The ODI series will begin on June 14 in Dharamshala, followed by matches in Lucknow on June 17 and Chennai on June 20. All ODI matches will start at 1:30 p.m. local time.

The tour continues Afghanistan’s regular bilateral engagements with India, which has frequently hosted Afghanistan’s international matches in recent years due to limited opportunities to stage games at home.

The series is expected to give Afghanistan additional experience against one of the world’s leading cricket teams ahead of upcoming international tournaments.

Further details, including squad announcements, are expected closer to the tour.
