PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The Afghanistan squad will arrive in Lahore on Feb 12 to participate in the eight-nation ICC Champions Trophy.
The mega tournament is scheduled to take place across Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) next month.
In Pakistan, Champions Trophy matches will be hosted by Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. In the UAE, the matches are to be played in Dubai.
Group A includes Pakistan, India, New Zealand and Bangladesh, while Group B is composed of Afghanistan, South Africa, England and Australia.
In their group-stage matches, Afghanistan will take on South Africa in Karachi 21 February, England in Lahore on 26 February and Australia in Lahore on 28 February.

Ahead of the eight-nation tournament, no warm-up matches would be played, Dawn reported on Thursday.
England would reach Lahore on Feb 18, just one day before the first match between defending champions Pakistan and New Zealand, the newspaper said.
