Nepal’s Cricket Team Gears Up for ICC World Cup League 2
New Delhi: The Nepal men’s cricket team is set to train at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for the next two weeks. This crucial preparation is for their upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 games.
Training at the NCA in Bangalore will be pivotal in enhancing our players’ skills and strategies. “Let’s wish them all the best,” said the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) on their ‘X’ account.
Earlier this year, Nepal visited India for a tri-series against Gujarat and Baroda at Vapi. This was part of their preparation for the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies.
After their stint at the NCA, Nepal will travel to Canada for their second CWC League 2 series in September, where they will also face Oman.
Currently, Nepal stands in sixth place in the League 2 standings, having secured one win from four matches during their home tri-series against Namibia and the Netherlands in February 2024.
Captain Rohit Paudel, all-rounder Dipendra Singh Airee, and leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane are in Canada playing in the recently concluded GT20 League. Airee and Paudel will also participate in the MAX60 Caribbean Cricket League, set to take place in the Cayman Islands from August 18-25.
