Afghanistan Tour of India 2026: Full Test & ODI Schedule, Dates, Match Timing & Venues Revealed

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the schedule for Afghanistan’s tour of India in June 2026. In this tour, India and Afghanistan will be playing one test match and then a three-match ODI series, where Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are set to return in action again in international cricket.

​Afghanistan wasn't able to qualify for the Super 8 round in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 as they got eliminated in the group stage. However, they played quite better cricket as compared to some other teams, but due to a lack of consistent and collective performances, they failed to showcase their emerging talent.

​The Afghanistan Tour of India 2026 will begin with a test match in New Chandigarh and will be followed by ODI matches in Dharamshala, Lucknow and Chennai. It’s going to be an exciting and interesting series for both teams, and probably, it will be India’s first international series after the IPL 2026.

Historic Test Match in Chandigarh

Afghanistan's tour of India 2026 will start with a one-off test match from June 06 to June 10, 2026, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh. The India vs Afghanistan one-off test match will begin from 9:30 AM (IST), and it will be a historic moment as New Chandigarh will host its first-ever test match.

This will also be Afghanistan’s first test match against India since their debut in 2018. In that match, India dominated Afghanistan and won by an innings and 262 runs, but since then, Afghanistan has improved their game significantly and will be looking to perform better this time.

​Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli Set for ODI Action

​After the test match, both teams will focus on ODIs, and they will consist of three matches. India’s star players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to play this series, as both players bring experience and performance to the team.

​The first ODI will be played on June 14, 2206 at HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, while the second and third ODIs are scheduled for June 17 and June 20, 2026, at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, respectively.
