Afghanistan’s Test Against India Likely To Be Held In Bangalore

Afghanistan’s National Cricket Team will play their Test against India in Bangalore, the Indian daily newspaper, the Hindu, reported.

Afghanistan and Ireland were awarded full membership status at the ICC last June.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to choose Bengaluru (Bangalore) as the venue for the one-off Test against Afghanistan in June when the weather is expected to be good in Karnataka’s capital. The game will precede India’s short tour of Ireland, the report said.

Afghanistan expressed a wish to play its first Test against India and the BCCI readily accepted the proposal, it said, adding that the sources said the two governments were keen to see Afghanistan begin its Test journey against India in India.

An official announcement is likely to be made at a press conference in New Delhi on Tuesday. On the same day, the Supreme Court has listed the matter related to the Justice Lodha cricket reforms case.
