When the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight final is played on March 19, the Pakistani national squad will travel to Sharjah to begin the three-match series on March 23.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) reports that both teams participated in a single ODI and a T20I in Sharjah in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Both games were victories for Pakistan.
Apart from this, only multi-team competitions have brought the two neighboring nations together. Through this series, Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) Chairman Mirwais Ashraf sought to strengthen ties with Pakistan.
"We are hopeful and looking forward to deepening our relationships with PCB and continuing our fruitful collaborations and frequent cricketing assignments with them, which will help us further enhance our squad and cricket as a whole.
In general, we are eager to host and compete against Pakistan in what promises to be an exciting series of cricket matches between the two nations.
