ICC World Cup League 2: Nepali Cricket Faces One-Day Test at Home Ground

The ICC World Cup League 2, which was previously held in Kathmandu last season where Nepal emerged victorious in 12 matches out of 12, led to their elevation to the top 3 positions in the ODI rankings, thereby securing a spot in the Global Qualifier for the One-Day International (ODI) World Cup. However, in the ongoing season, Nepal finds itself in a challenging position with a 12th place ranking out of 8 participating nations in the series with 12 points. Given their recent struggles, there is speculation on whether Nepal can improve their performance on home turf as they prepare to face the United Arab Emirates and Oman in four matches this month, followed by four more games against the United States and Scotland. The ICC World Cup League 2 is a high-level four-year ODI competition established by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for Associate nations, with each team playing 36 matches over the course of four years, contributing significantly to the development of Associate cricket.
