Opening post

Hi everyone, Tom here just letting everyone know that a few
hours ago, I've read through multiple sources, including an
sports outlet, that reliably informs the people of Afghanistan,
with permission & agreement with Afghanistan's Cricket Board.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan in the UAE
Start date November-December 2026
• 2 Tests
• 3 ODI's
• 3 T20i's

This should also be also great prep prior to the 3 match ODI
Series in India in, January 2027.

I am very much looking forward to the series.
Should be a great test for the boys.

We need more ODI and test cricket.

Hopefully Rashid is away somewhere else in November.

Good to hear
There was a time where Afghanistan seemed to skip every series against us. There should also be a home series against Afghanistan probably before the World Cup next year.
Rashid Khan was advised by his team's doctor to not play red ball cricket anymore. So as far as I'm aware he won't play. If he missed the India match makes sense he's not playing red ball cricket for at least the foreseeable future.

Zim will struggle in white ball matches specially in T20s.

Zim will only do better in tests . ODIs they can fight but in T20s they will struggle big way .
