UAE vs Afghanistan 50-Over Warm-Up Games 2023: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live-streaming details

The Emirates Cricket Board is all set to host the Afghanistan team for two-match 50-over warm-up games on December 25, Monday and December 27, Wednesday. After the conclusion of warm-up matches, both sides will play a three-match T20I series, starting on December 29, Friday.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah will host both warm-up matches and the T20I series. Afghanistan are touring the UAE for the second time in this calendar year. Earlier this year in February, Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, defeated UAE by 2-1 in the three-match T20I series.

Notably, the Emirates Cricket Board and the Afghanistan Cricket Board mutually signed an agreement to play a series of three-match T20I series on an annual basis. ACB CEO Naseeb Khan feels the association with the Emirates Cricket Board has been fruitful.

He said, “Our collaboration with the Emirates Cricket Board has been helpful. The inaugural UAE Series earlier this year offered us an excellent foundation to prepare for the following events throughout the year. Banking on our positive previous experience, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming UAE series for the same purpose again.”

Muhammad Waseem will lead the UAE one-day team with Hashmatullah Shahidi named as the Afghanistan team's captain for the two warm-up games. Speaking about their head-to-head record in one-dayers, both sides registered three wins and three losses each.
