Nepal to Play Historic T20I Series Against West Indies in Sharjah
In a landmark moment for Nepali cricket, the national team is set to face off against West Indies in a historic three-match T20 International series, marking the first-ever bilateral series between the two nations. The matches will be played in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, on September 27, 28, and 30, 2025.
The series is being hosted by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) and represents a major opportunity for Nepal as it prepares for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier later this year. For Nepal, playing against a full-member nation like West Indies is a massive boost—not only in terms of exposure but also in building confidence and experience on the international stage.
The West Indies, known for their rich cricketing history and dynamic style of play, will field a competitive squad, giving Nepal the chance to test itself against one of the sport’s most iconic teams. The neutral venue in Sharjah also offers fans from both regions a chance to witness high-quality cricket in a globally recognized cricket ground.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) CEO Chris Dehring emphasized the significance of the series, stating:
“This series is more than just a set of international matches—it’s a celebration of the game’s expanding global footprint and a testament to what cricket represents: pride, purpose, and the power of unity… We are proud to stand with Nepal at this moment in their history and look forward to exciting and competitive cricket in Sharjah.”
The series reflects West Indies’ commitment to the development of cricket in emerging nations, as well as the strengthening of partnerships with cricket boards around the world.
CWI also extended its appreciation to CAN and the Emirates Cricket Board for their collaboration in making the series possible, reinforcing the collective effort to grow the sport globally.
