India will host Afghanistan for three Twenty20s in January, the first time the two sides will meet in a multi-match white-ball series, the Afghanistan Cricket Board said late on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The series will begin on January 11 in Mohali before moving to Indore for a match on January 14. The final match will be in Bengaluru on January. 17.<\/p>\n
