On October 17, 2025, the Nepal cricket team secured their spot in the upcoming T20 World Cup, qualifying for the prestigious tournament for the second consecutive time. The team's captain, Rohit Paudel, expressed his delight at the achievement, stating that the dream of playing in the World Cup had come true.

Paudel revealed that the team had been working towards this goal for almost a year, and the victory over Oman in a late-night match on October 16th had made the entire team ecstatic.
