The team will take on Hong Kong, China in the opening game of the tournament, beginning from 9 September.
Before their Asia Cup campaign begins, Afghanistan will be a part of a T20I tri-series against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Pakistan from 29 August.
After an impressive show at the T20 World Cup in 2024, having beaten teams like New Zealand and Australia in the competition before bowing out in the semifinals, Afghanistan start preparations for the T20 World Cup next year, keen to leave a mark again in the shortest format.
