Pakistan to play three T20Is against Afghanistan in Sharjah next month
Pakistan will play a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan next month in a bid to compensate Afghanistan for the losses caused by the withdrawal of Cricket Australia from the ODI series against the side, the Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board Management Committee Najam Sethi said on Sunday.
“Pleased to announce PCB will play 3xT20s against Afghanistan in Sharjah end March to compensate Afghanistan following Australia’s pullout from bi lateral series against it,” he said on Twitter.
PCB head added that he also supported the Asian Cricket Council’s decision to grant Afghanistan an equal share of ACC revenues like the other top four member boards.
“I also supported ACC decision to grant Afghanistan equal share of ACC revenues like BCCI, PCB, SLC & BCB.” he remarked.
Last month Cricket Australia announced its decision to pull out of the scheduled three-match ODI series in March in response to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s restrictions on women.
