The opening match of the series, currently underway, features the Ireland A and Sri Lanka A teams going head-to-head.
This 50-over format series is being held as part of preparations for future international competitions, with all three sides expected to rotate players and test depth in their squads.
Afghanistan A is scheduled to play its first match in the series on April 15 against Sri Lanka A.
Earlier, the Afghan A team made a strong impression by defeating Ireland A in a four-day match by an innings and 194 runs.
