Afghanistan will face Rohit Sharma and Co. in a three-match ODI series in March next year. The series will be a huge plus for the visitors, with the 50-over World Cup scheduled to be held in India a year after their tour. Afghanistan’s tour of India will be the first since the Indians hosted Asghar Stanikzai’s team for a Test in 2018. The Men in Blue had won the contest with ease, with Shikhar Dhawan scoring a fine century to ensure that the red-ball game ended in three days.
