One Test: Australia Vs Afghanistan

  • Doon Sports Club, Dehradun

In Sept 2022 Afghanistan host Australia for the first time on 'home soil' in a one-off Test Match that may be played in Dehradun, India. Knowing we won't play in Afghanistan we are confident about Dehradun because the city was announced as 'Afghanistan's 2nd Home Ground in India'. The first is in Noida, in New Delhi's 'Greater Capital Area' however this is a low-level first-class practice ground at best. Saying this, Afghanistan played West Indies at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow in Nov 2019 so this is another option TBC.

Afghanistan played their first Test against Ireland in Dehradun in 2019 so we see no reason why Australia would not (agree to) play in this delightful town at the foot of the Himalayas. It is Afghanistan's 'home match' so any advantage they can have by hosting Australia at a familiar ground is fair play.

The Test is scheduled to be played in the 2nd week of September at Doon Sports Club, preceding the Australian Cricket Tour to India 2023 in Oct - Nov. Disappointingly, the Test does not immediately precede Australia India Test Series as the Asia Cup will be played in Pakistan in the last two weeks of September (TBC).

With our Australia Vs India Test Series 2023 itinerary set around Diwali on October 24, 2022, along with the Asia Cup in which India and Afghanistan will compete, we have worked back to this 'presumptive' match dates of Sept 10-14, 2022

Following this awesome 119 Dehradun Tour we return to New Delhi on October 15 for 2 nights, before embarking on an outstanding 12 nights Indian Railways adventure through Rajasthan.
