Oman Cricket (OC) will be hosting the Men’s National teams from Namibia and United States of America (USA) for an ODI Tri-series from February 08th – 18th, 2025, which will be the ninth (9th) 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.
While Namibia Men wouldn’t be staying in Oman after the conclusion of the ODI Tri-series, Oman and USA teams will play a three (3)-match T20Is after the conclusion of the ODI Tri-series. As per the original Men’s Associate FTP, T20Is 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.

One thought on “Oman Cricket to host USA and Namibia for ODI Tri-series in February 2025”
Looking forward to watch some great cricket by Associate teams on FANCODE.
USA did well against Namibia on Feb 8 and cricket lovers can see the talent available with the associate nations. The Associate Cricket Boards should urge the Test playing teams for ODI/T 20 I series against them, and can be out ot he FTP or ODI calender given that the Full Member teams can field multiple teams in parallel
