Originally the Test match was scheduled to take place in December 2020,[6] at the Perth Stadium.[7] On 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that the one-off Test match would be a day/night match.[8][9] In July 2020, Cricket Australia also confirmed they were doing everything to ensure that the match goes ahead, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11] Originally, the Test match was scheduled to start on 21 November 2020,[12][13] but the fixture was pushed back to 7 December 2020 due to the rescheduling of the 2020 Indian Premier League.[14] However, in September 2020, the match was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]
In August 2021, following the Taliban offensive in Afghanistan, concerns were raised about the match taking place.[16] In September 2021, Cricket Australia admitted that they did not have answers about hosting the match,[17] but the Afghanistan Cricket Board's CEO, Hamid Shinwari, said that their team would be travelling to Australia following the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[18]
