Afghanistan will host the West Indies for a three-match T20I series in Dubai, starting on January 19. Fans eager to watch the action unfold in real time will find out details of AFG vs WI live streaming in India here.
The series will help both teams to prepare for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to begin on February 7. However, some of the prominent Caribbean figures, including captain Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, and Sherfane Rutherford, will miss participating in the series due to their SA20 commitments.
Brandon King will take up the leadership duties for the three fixtures in the absence of Hope. Moreover, after an impressive CPL 2025 season, Quentin Sampson has earned his maiden international call-up. The batter had scored 241 runs in nine fixtures at a strike rate of 151.57.
On the other hand, star Afghanistani bowler Naveen Ul Haq has been ruled out of the series and the subsequent ICC event due to a shoulder injury. Zia Ur Rahman has replaced him in both squads.
Historically, the West Indies have had an upper hand over the opposition in the shortest format of the game, winning five of the eight encounters so far. They had also registered a thumping 104-run victory over the side during the T20 World Cup 2024. But the last time Afghanistan hosted the team, they had secured the series by 2-1 in Lucknow.
Further, both teams will start the series on a contrasting note. After a clean-sweep by Bangladesh, Afghanistan made a comeback to whitewash Zimbabwe in a three-T20I series in October 2025. Meanwhile, the visitors had defeated Bangladesh on their home soil by 0-3 before enduring a 3-1 series loss against New Zealand.
