The T20I tri-series will begin on November 17 with Pakistan taking on Afghanistan at the Rawalpindi stadium.
Pakistan's cricket board (PCB) announced on Sunday (Sep 7) it will host a Twenty20 international tri-series with Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in November, as teams get ready for next year's World Cup.
"The series has been organised to provide all teams with valuable preparation ahead of next year's Men's T20 World Cup, to be staged in India and Sri Lanka," the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.
The tri-series will begin on November 17 with Pakistan taking on Afghanistan at the Rawalpindi stadium.
This will be the first time Pakistan play neighbours Afghanistan in a T20I match on home soil, the PCB said.
Afghanistan have played two one-day internationals in the Asia Cup 2023 and three in this year's Champions Trophy in Pakistan, but they involved opponents other than the home team.
