Pakistan and Afghanistan Agree on Sri Lanka as Neutral Venue for ODI Series

After intense negotiations between cricket boards, the venue for the highly anticipated three-match ODI series between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been confirmed. Media reports reveal that both teams have agreed to play the white-ball series at a neutral location in Sri Lanka, following several rounds of discussions.

Initially, Afghanistan had expressed interest in hosting the series in the UAE. However, due to challenging weather conditions, they opted for Sri Lanka as the ideal venue. The Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship and cooperation by offering their grounds and stadiums to accommodate the series.

The decision to play in Sri Lanka is strategic for the Afghanistan team, as it will help them prepare for the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup 2023, allowing them to acclimatize to similar conditions they may encounter during these prestigious events.

The three-match ODI series is scheduled to kick off on August 18 and will continue until August 24. Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to this exciting clash between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the beautiful setting of Sri Lanka.
