With the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup fast approaching, the Afghanistan Men’s cricket team will tour Sri Lanka for a three-match ODI series starting on 2nd of June. The Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota will play host to all the matches, which will be held as day games.

The two teams last clashed in a gripping series last year, which ended in a tie at 1-1. This time, Afghanistan will be led by left-handed batter Hashmatullah Shahidi, as they aim to make their mark on Sri Lankan soil.

The talented all-rounder Abdul Rahman makes a comeback into the Afghanistan side after impressive performances in domestic cricket.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s white-ball cricket season has been challenging, with their failure to directly qualify for the ICC 50 overs World Cup in India. The series against Afghanistan provides them with a valuable opportunity to fine-tune their strategies and build momentum before the upcoming qualifiers in Zimbabwe.
