KARACHI: Afghanistan are set to play a one-day international against Pakistan ‘A’ later this month, Afghan coach Rashid Latif said on Monday.

The former Pakistan captain, who now coaches the Afghanistan national team, said a three-match ODI series will be played at the end of May.

“The series schedule was recently finalised during a meeting between the Afghanistan Cricket Board’s (ACB) delegation and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ijaz Butt,” Latif said.

Latif will return to Afghanistan to supervise a training camp for the national squad, before arriving in Rawalpindi on May 23 ahead of the series.

The opening match of the series will be played at Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium on May 25, followed by matches in Rawalpindi (May 27) and Abbottabad (May 29).

Pakistan has not hosted international cricket matches since the attack on the Sri Lankan team on March 3, 2009 but Latif said he expects the upcoming series to help bring back the game to his homeland.
