Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) will be hosting the Men’s National teams from United States of America (USA) and Scotland for an ODI Tri-series from May 12th – 22nd, 2026, which will be the eighteenth (18th) 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.
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.
Cricket Nepal is also using this opportunity to provide competitive fixtures for the Nepal A squad, comprising of players, who have performed well in domestic tournaments like Nepal Premier League and PM Cup One-day tournament. It also provides the likes of USA and Scotland to get used to the conditions, before the start of the League 2 fixtures.
