First T20I on Sept 13, BRICS Summit no issue

The first T20I match between India and Afghanistan, scheduled for September 13, will proceed as planned at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, despite the concurrent BRICS Summit.
The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has confirmed that the match will go ahead, alleviating concerns that the high-profile summit might disrupt the cricket event.
The BRICS Summit, which brings together leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is set to take place in Delhi around the same time as the T20I match. However, the DDCA has assured that necessary arrangements are in place to ensure the smooth conduct of the match.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium, formerly known as the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, has a rich history of hosting international cricket matches and is expected to be packed for the India-Afghanistan clash.
The series between India and Afghanistan is part of the preparations for the upcoming ICC World Cup, and both teams will be looking to fine-tune their skills and strategies in the lead-up to the tournament.
The confirmation of the match schedule is also a testament to the efficiency of the DDCA in managing logistics and ensuring that cricket events in the city are not disrupted by other high-profile events.
In recent years, Delhi has hosted several high-profile cricket matches, including international T20Is and ODIs, and the city's cricket fans have always turned out in large numbers to support the Indian team.
The India-Afghanistan T20I series promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams boasting talented players and a strong desire to win. The first match on September 13 is expected to set the tone for the rest of the series, and fans will be eagerly waiting to see how the two teams perform.
Overall, the confirmation of the India-Afghanistan T20I match in Delhi is a welcome development for cricket fans in the city, and the DDCA deserves credit for ensuring that the event goes ahead as planned.
The success of the match will also depend on the support of the fans, and it is expected that the Arun Jaitley Stadium will be packed to capacity for the India-Afghanistan clash.
