According to Ansari, this will be the first international series between Afghanistan and Pakistan’s physically disabled players. Earlier, Pakistan and England created history by playing the first ever series between any disabled teams back in 2012, with the matches held at the ICC Academy in Dubai.
“ECB Disability Cricket Manager Ian Martin has done a lot of work on disabled cricket by trying to gather teams from Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh and India,” said Ansari.
Pakistan will play two 40-over one-day matches and three T20s at Karachi’s National Stadium.
The official added that they were hopeful that the series will be a landmark one and will be well received in the world.
