However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many bilateral engagements have to be rescheduled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The proposed Test will not be a part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship as it is limited to the top nine teams and does not include three Full Members in Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The match against Australia will be Afghanistan&#39;s fifth in red-ball cricket. They have lost Tests to India and the West Indies, but have registered wins against Ireland and Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n",
