For the first time in cricket history, Nepal and the West Indies will face off in a three-match T20 International series. The matches are scheduled to be played on September 27, 28, and 30 at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates.

Facing the star-studded and aggressive West Indies side is expected to be a valuable experience for Nepal, providing high-level competition ahead of their World Cup qualifiers. Both cricket boards believe the series will boost Nepal’s confidence and readiness.

CWI expressed its gratitude to the Cricket Association of Nepal and the Emirates Cricket Board for their cooperation in organizing the event. They hope such initiatives will enhance cricket’s global footprint and inspire enthusiasm for the sport in new regions.
