Nepal Women to tour Bangladesh to prepare for T20 World Cup Asia qualifiers in UAE

Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) have announced their 14-member Women’s national squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia regional qualifiers in UAE from November 18th – 29th, 2021.

Nepal Women will be competing against teams from Bhutan, UAE, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Kuwait in the 6-nation event, from which the top team will advance to the Global Qualifiers in 2022. This is the final regional event after the conclusion of tournaments in the Europe, Africa and Americas regions, while the East Asia-Pacific event was cancelled due to COVID-19.

The last International tournament played by Nepal Women was during the South Asian Games held in Nepal in 2019. COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in no International matches for the team in recent times, with the domestic competition held in 2021 being the only exposure the players have got so far. The team will get to prepare for the tournament by playing practice games in Bangladesh, as the cricket board have announced that a week long camp featuring four practice matches will take place from November 04th – 11th, 2021.
