Dubai, Jan 29 (TIWN): UAE will host Afghanistan for three T20Is in Abu Dhabi starting February 16 as part of the agreement signed by the two cricket boards last November, wherein the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) will be offering the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) logistical and infrastructure support for the next five years, including hosting their "home" matches for the period. As a result, Afghanistan committed to playing UAE in a three-match T20I series annually until the deal expires.

The ACB has selected a preliminary list of 22 players for the preparation camp in UAE. The squad will depart for the United Arab Emirates a week before the start of the series, where the team will feature in a conditioning camp in Abu Dhabi to prepare for the series.

Notably, the T20I series is being played in accordance with the mutual cooperation agreement that was recently signed between Afghanistan and the Emirates Cricket Boards. Based on the agreement, Afghanistan will play a series of three T20I matches with the UAE on an annual basis.
