Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) will be hosting the Men’s National teams from United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman for an ODI Tri-series from April 21st – May 05th, 2026, which will be the sixteenth (16th) round of the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cycle (Qualification pathway tournament towards 2027 CWC Global Qualifier). Top four (4) after completion of 36 ODIs for all in the CWC League 2 Championship will qualify directly for 2027 Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier (CWCQ). Bottom four (4) teams in the points table will then compete in CWC Qualifier Play-off tournament, along with four (4) teams from the Challenge League competitions (Top 2 teams from both groups) for four (4) spots in CWCQ.
The Tri-series was originally scheduled for March 2026, but got postponed due to ongoing conflicts in the West Asia region, due to which the teams of Oman and UAE were unable to travel to Nepal. UAE Men will be playing two (2) T20 International matches (with ICC T20I team ranking points) with Nepal to start their tour on April 20th and 21st, 2026.
As per the original Men’s Associate FTP, T20Is (either a Tri-series or Bi-lateral) were scheduled as part of each Tri-series in the CWC League 2 ODI Championship, but it depends on the participating boards on their own arrangements, as it is not part of ICC funding.
