Dubai, Nov 27, Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) have entered into a five-year mutual cooperation agreement, which includes ACB utilising UAE's world-class venues for the national side's home fixtures.
In return, ACB will play an annual series of three T20I matches, against UAE, for the duration of the agreement. Also, the Emirates Cricket Board will provide valuable logistic support to the Afghanistan Cricket Board, including visa assistance and office space.
Despite rising into prominence in the cricketing world, Afghanistan has never played home matches in their own country due to security reasons and lack of international level facilities.
