Road to Asia Cup and World Cup

The series would be a perfect way for both teams to build up ahead of the Asia Cup and the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023. The Asia Cup is set to begin on August 30, while the World Cup will start on October 5. All three ODIs of the Afghanistan-Pakistan bilateral series will be hosted in Hambantota and Colombo in Sri Lanka, and in addition to match-time, the series will offer conditions that will be very similar to many venues of the Asia Cup and World Cup for both teams.

Deepak Jaswani, Co-promoter of FireBird ESM, shared, “The Afghanistan Cricket Board selected FireBird to enhance the global reach of their cricket. We are extremely pleased to collaborate with Eurosport, one of the premier global sports broadcasters for our upcoming ODI series against Pakistan in Sri Lanka. We appreciate Eurosport’s enthusiasm and eagerly anticipate a stronger partnership that will bring more sports to Indian audiences. Afghanistan cricket and its players are growing in popularity, this partnership brings exciting limited-overs cricket to millions of subcontinental fans at home, marking the start of a promising relationship.”

With players such as Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed of the Gujarat Titans making a mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and those like Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb-Ur-Rehman also in their ranks, Afghanistan will be looking forward to a first-series win against their neighbour Pakistan.

On the other hand, the Babar Azam-led Pakistan, along with key players like Imam-Ul-Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi, will try to maintain the clean sheet of the Men in Green as they go head-to-head with the Afghanistan team for the fifth time in an ODI.
