“We have quite a good playing history with Ireland, both countries have played plenty of cricket against each other and have been granted ICC Full Membership at the same time," Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO Naseeb Khan said. "This will be our second Test against them, and we are eagerly looking forward to what will be an exciting Test match between the two teams.”
Afghanistan had won the earlier Test match between these sides in Dehradun in 2019. Overall, the team has played eight Test matches, winning three of them. Afghanistan are also scheduled to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh and a one-off home Test against New Zealand in 2024.
