Canadian cricket team against Afghanistan in the UAE in 2009–10

The Canadian cricket team played the Afghan cricket team in 2010 in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Owing to the security situation in Afghanistan, they are unable to play home games in their own country, and so play home series in various locations in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent. The teams played two One Day Internationals and an Intercontinental Cup match.
