Nepal Cricket: Tour Us, Urge Cricket Giants

Nepal's captain, Rohit Paudel, has extended an invitation to cricketing giants such as India, Australia, and England to tour Nepal. Following Nepal's impressive performance in the ongoing 2026 T20 World Cup, Paudel expressed that tours from these nations would significantly aid in globalizing cricket and showcasing Nepal's capabilities on the international stage.

Paudel highlighted that playing against stronger teams would provide essential exposure and experience, allowing Nepal to test their skills and improve. He suggested that even one or two series against these top teams would be highly beneficial for their development.

Supporting this call, Paras Khadka, former Nepal captain and Cricket Association of Nepal secretary, also urged the BCCI to arrange a T20I series between India and Nepal. He mentioned Nepal's readiness with floodlights and a stadium, hoping to host more bilateral and tri-nation series with major cricket-playing nations.

Daren Sammy, West Indies' head coach, stressed the responsibility of full member nations to engage in bilateral series with associate teams to foster the sport's growth. He stated that playing against Nepal, as the West Indies have done recently in a T20I series won by Nepal 2-1, helps these teams assess their level and improve, ultimately benefiting the game globally.
