India to Welcome Afghanistan in June for One-Off Test and Three ODIs
The tour offers India crucial 50-over match practice ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, featuring a Test in New Chandigarh and three ODIs across different cities.
- The BCCI announced Afghanistan's tour of India in June, including a one-off Test from June 6-101 in New Chandigarh and three ODIs on June 14, 17, and 20 in Dharamsala, Lucknow, and Chennai.
- Cricket officials emphasized a white-ball focus by scheduling three ODIs ahead of the 2027 World Cup, with no T20Is and a standalone Test outside the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.
- Historically, the two sides have only played one Test previously, and this will be only the second after India won the 2018 Test by an innings and 262 runs; all ODIs start at 1:30 PM IST.
- Matches are tightly scheduled, with the Test starting June 6, just six days after the IPL final, and the ODIs immediately following in mid-June.
- Looking to the future, the ODIs are seen as preparation for the 2027 ODI World Cup, while Afghanistan will host Sri Lanka for T20Is and ODIs in the UAE post-World Cup.
