In a good news for the fans of Afghanistan cricket, the team is likely to travel India after the World Test Championship (WTC) final.

As per reports, it will be a short tour and nothing on it has actually been confirmed so far. 

“Yes, the Afghanistan cricket team will undertake a short tour to India during June, after the World Test Championship final  which will be played at the Oval in London from June 7-11,” a BCCI official said.

The announcement of the Afghanistan series is likely to be revealed by cricket boards of both the countries soon. If it happens then it will be a big boost for Afghanistan cricket.

India is supporting Afghanistan cricket despite the Taliban takeover. BCCI has provided its stadiums to Afghanistan cricketers in Greater Noida, Dehradun, and Lucknow as its home base for cricket in the past.

Notably, Afghanistan Cricket had last toured India in 2018 in a one-off Test match. The visitors lost by an inning and 262 runs within two days in that Test.

On the other hand, India will lock horns with formidable Australians in the WTC final at the Kensington Oval. The Men in Blue are all set to travel to the Caribbean for a two-Test, three ODIs, and five T20Is in the month of July.
