Afghanistan will host the one-off Test against New Zealand in India.

The match will be played in September at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida. Both teams will face each other in a Test match for the first time.

Although Australia is reluctant to engage in bilateral cricket with Afghanistan due to women rights issues, New Zealand has a different stance on this matter. The Kiwis are also scheduled to play a three-Test series against the host team in India in October-November.
