Due to logistical issues, Afghanistan’s three-match ODI series against Pakistan has been relocated from Hambantota to Karachi. The ACB’s CEO Hamid Shinwari confirmed the ODI series move to ESPNcricinfo. Following the Taliban takeover, no commercial planes leave Kabul, and Sri Lanka declared a 10-day lockdown on Friday, two days after the nation recorded 3,793 new cases and a record 187 deaths.
On Sunday, Azizullah Fazli was re-elected as Afghanistan Cricket Board head (ACB). Fazli served as ACB chairman from September 2018 to July 2019, when he was replaced by Farhan Yusufzai after Afghanistan’s disappointing World Cup performance in England.
His appointment occurred a week after the Taliban took control of Kabul and President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.
