COLOMBO: The Afghanistan Cricket Board has postponed its bilateral series against Sri Lanka Cricket that was scheduled to begin on March 13 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), citing logistical challenges including flight constraints linked to the ongoing regional situation. The board said the series will now be rescheduled for the last quarter of 2026.

The tour was set to include six white ball matches. Three T20 Internationals were planned at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on March 13, 15, and 17, followed by three One Day Internationals at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 20, 22, and 25.

Preparations had been completed after approval from the Emirates Cricket Board, but unexpected developments in early March disrupted travel arrangements and operational planning. After consultations with stakeholders, including the Emirates Cricket Board, Sharjah Cricket Stadium, and Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the decision was made to postpone the series.

Officials said the preferred venue remains the UAE, and new dates will be announced after further coordination between the boards.
