Cricket fans are in for a treat, as Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the UAE will be competing in a T20I tri-nation series, starting August 29 in the UAE. Sources report that the tri-series will take place entirely in Sharjah at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, a renowned venue for its atmosphere and excitement. The tri-nation series will include seven matches, which will allow Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the UAE to play quality cricket before the next Asia Cup in September. Beyond the tri-series, the Pakistan national team is expected to stay in the UAE and participate in the Asia Cup, which is a great opportunity to warm up for the series.

Even better, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s selection committee is expected to announce squads for the tri-nation series and the Asia Cup at the same time to aid with selections and reduce last-minute changes.
This series is not just a practical test of both form and combinations, but is also the opportunity for the UAE to play in front of their home crowd against these two experienced international sides. Sharjah will be the hotbed of T20 action this summer, as cricket mania is starting to take hold of fans.
Stay tuned, hopefully squads and fixtures will be released soon.
