The series marked Qatar's first-ever matches against a full member team.^[6] It also marked Afghanistan's first T20I match in Qatar, while they have played against Netherlands at the same venue in an ODI series in 2022.^[7]

The first match of the series had a delayed start due to "technical problem". Initially, there was confusion regarding the T20I status of these matches with contradicting reports from the boards; it was confirmed that only the final match of the series would have T20I status.^[8][9]
