The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced on September 2, 2026, its plan to incorporate advanced broadcast technology for its upcoming three-match T20I series against India, designing production to FIFA World Cup-level standards. This development follows earlier discussions surrounding the national team's Test performance. On June 10, coach Richard Pybus frequently addressed the media regarding Afghanistan's "Test dilemma" after the conclusion of the one-off Test against India. Previously, on June 8, Pybus conceded the team's approach in that Test was marked by "naivety," attributing the crushing defeat to a lack of exposure and game time at the highest level of the format. Ahead of the one-off game, on June 4, skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi stated that Rashid Khan's return to Test cricket was a matter between the player and the national selectors.
