Norwegian Cricket Federation (NCF) will be hosting the Men’s National teams of Iran and Uzbekistan for a T20I International Tri-series tournament (with ICC T20I team ranking points) from August 13th – 16th, 2026. It will be a historic series, involving two (2) of Asian region’s Associate teams, who have till date, only played in Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Asia Cup qualification pathway events, and this tour being their maiden overseas agreement, outside of their region. In fact, Uzbekistan team made their International debut in 2026, and competed in the upcoming Men’s Asia Cup qualification pathway tournament (50-overs) in Singapore, and followed it up by playing in a T20I Quadrangular Tournament (Asia Pacific Champions Trophy), also in Singapore.
Iran Men were previously seen in International action, that came during their appearance at the 2023 ACC Men’s Challenger Cup event (Asia Cup qualification pathway tournament) in Thailand in the 50-overs format.
NCF President Yousuf Gilani had confirmed this development back in June 2026 about the plans to host the Tri-series, and with the team having played competitive cricket during the recently concluded 2028 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Sub-regional Qualifier B in Denmark, this will be a big opportunity for Iran and Uzbekistan to play against a much higher-ranked Team in the T20I rankings table.
