Sharjah — The Tri-Nation T20 International Series begins today in Sharjah, with Pakistan set to face Afghanistan in the tournament’s opening match. The encounter is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM (PST) under the floodlights of the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
For the 15th consecutive T20 match, Pakistan will take the field without their star batters Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Team management has continued its rotation strategy, providing opportunities for younger players to gain experience ahead of upcoming international competitions.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) completes the three-team lineup in the series. Sharjah, with its rich cricketing history and strong fan following for Pakistan and Afghanistan, is expected to witness packed stands for the opener.
Pakistan’s stand-in skipper Salman Agha expressed confidence ahead of the series opener.
“We have played our best cricket in the last three series, and we are determined to continue our winning momentum in this tournament,” he said.
