The Cricket Association of Nepal announced a 15-member squad that will be travelling to the Netherlands for the ICC CWC League-2 tri-series next month.
The Dutch are hosting Namibia alongside Nepal in the 20th tri-series of the League2 cycle. This is the same combination of teams that were part of the first of the 24 tri-series in the 2024-26 cycle that Nepal hosted in February 2024.
Nepal had started their League-2 cycle with one win, against the Netherlands, in four games.
Even now, Nepal are struggling to finish as one of the top four teams. They are currently fifth, seven points behind fourth-placed Oman and 19 points behind first-placed USA, the only team to have secured a spot at the 2027 World Cup’s Global Qualifier as one of the top four teams from League-2.
Nepal will play four games at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The Rhinos will play their last tri-series of League-2, alongside Canada, in Oman in October.
Stuart Law and his men will also be having a preparation tour in the UK before touching down on the Dutch soil. The tour of the UK is expected to help Law’s men get used to the conditions in the West.
CAN is yet to announce the details of Nepal’s programme in the UK.
Meanwhile, Nepal will have another big preparation before reaching the Netherlands from England.
As previously scheduled, the Rhinos will have a stop in Jersey for two ODIs on July 13 and 15.
Nepal are playing Namibia on July 21 and 27, and the Netherlands on July 23 and 29.
