Over the next five years, Afghanistan's "home" matches will be played in the United Arab Emirates, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said on Sunday.
Afghanistan, who recently played their "home" matches in India because to security concerns, hasn't welcomed visiting teams in previous years.
Since the Taliban seized control of the nation in August 2021, this impression has only grown.
According to the deal, Afghanistan, a country that participates in test matches, would play an annual three-match T20 series against the tier-two Emirati team.
According to a statement from Mubashir Usmani, general secretary of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), "We are glad to support the ACB in ensuring that they have a home for their cricket."
"We are also appreciative of the Afghanistan Cricket Board for agreeing to schedule a yearly T20I series against the UAE team.
"This will give our UAE staff vital experience and aid in their development," the statement continued.
The ECB would also give the ACB logistical support, including help with visas and office space.
ACB chief executive Naseeb Khan hoped the "fruitful agreement" would serve future goals of both the boards.
In the past, the UAE has served as venue for Pakistan's 'home' fixtures, and also hosted last year's T20 World Cup after the showpiece had to be moved out of India following a Covid-19 crisis.
