The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has announced an exciting new challenge for the Nepalese cricket team as they gear up for their upcoming CWC League 2 Series. To enhance their preparation for the crucial series in Canada, Nepal will embark on a tour to Sri Lanka, where they will face off in a three-match One Day series against the Sri Lanka Development Squad.
Team Announcement and Leadership
The squad for this tour has already been confirmed, with Rohit Paudel stepping up to lead the 19-player team during their week-long stay in Sri Lanka. Both Rohit Paudel and DS Airee, who were recently in Canada following the GT20 tournament, are set to join the team for the series, bringing their international experience to the field.
Match Schedule and Preparations
The team is scheduled for an initial practice session on September 2, setting the stage for their first match against the Sri Lanka Development Squad on September 3. Following a day’s rest, Nepal will play the second and third matches on September 5 and 7, respectively. These matches are seen as vital preparation for Nepal as they look to sharpen their skills and strategies ahead of the upcoming international challenges.
