Afghanistan will 'host' India for a three-match T20I cricket series in Delhi, with the first match on September 13, followed by the second on September 15 and the third on September 17. Sports.ndtv.com reports that the dates are subject to approval from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The series is historic because it gives Afghanistan a designated home venue outside their country, continuing their reliance on neutral grounds due to security concerns at home.
