The Afghanistan men's cricket team is set to play one Test and three ODIs against India in June 2026.
India will begin their 2026-27 campaign with a home series against Afghanistan, featuring a one-off Test and three ODIs. Afghanistan’s historic multi-format tour starts with the Test in Mullanpur from Jun 6-10, followed by the first bilateral ODI series ever contested between the two nations. Afghanistan will be led by Hashmatullah Shahidi in both the formats, while premier leg-spinner Rashid Khan has been included in the ODI squad, he has been rested for the Test match after claiming 21 wickets for Gujarat Titans during IPL 2026.
Even without Rashid, the visitors have assembled a competitive red-ball squad for the Mullanpur Test. Alongside captain Shahidi, the lineup includes Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Azmatullah Omarzai.
India, meanwhile, will miss the services of Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah, however, the squad still boasts several key players, including Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Mohammed Siraj and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
