The Afghanistan Cricket Board is considering September 14 for an India-Afghanistan T20I, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturthi. The series is currently proposed for September 13, 15 and 17 at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. Sony Sports and Star Sports are in discussions for broadcast rights, while ITW Universe will handle media rights, branding and production for the series.

The upcoming India-Afghanistan T20I series could get a special cultural touch, with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) considering September 14 as one of the match dates to coincide with Ganesh Chaturthi, one of India’s most widely celebrated and auspicious festivals.

The three-match series is currently proposed to be played at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in New Delhi on September 13, 15 and 17. However, if September 14 is finalised, the fixture would fall on Ganesh Chaturthi, potentially creating a unique occasion for cricket fans and adding a festive atmosphere to the bilateral contest.

The series is expected to further strengthen the growing cricketing relationship between India and Afghanistan. With both teams having established themselves as strong forces in T20 cricket, the contest in the national capital is likely to attract considerable attention from fans.

Discussions are also underway with leading broadcasters, including Sony Sports and Star Sports, regarding the television broadcast of the series. A final broadcast arrangement is expected to add further visibility to what could be an important bilateral assignment for both sides.
