NEW DELHI: The Nepalese cricket squad is set to undergo training at Bengaluru's National Cricket Academy (NCA) in preparation for their upcoming Cricket World Cup League 2 series, which will take place in Canada.
Prior to their departure for the tri-series in Canada, where they will face off against Oman, the team will spend two weeks honing their skills at the NCA facility, reported PTI.
As of now, Nepal occupies the sixth position in the League 2 standings.
"Rhinos are off to India to gear up for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 Preparation Series! Training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore for two weeks will sharpen our players' skills and strategies. Let's wish them all the best!" wrote the Cricket Association of Nepal on its official X page on Monday.
Several key players from the Nepal cricket team, including skipper Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, and Sandeep Lamichhane, recently participated in the Global T20 league held in Canada.
Prior to their departure for the T20 World Cup 2024 in the Americas, the Nepal team had traveled to India for a series of training matches. During their stay, they faced off against Gujarat and Baroda teams in Vapi.
The primary objective for the Rhinos is to secure a position among the top four teams in the League 2 table by the end of December 2026. Achieving this goal would grant them direct entry into the CWC Qualifier.
However, if the team fails to finish within the top four, they will be required to compete in the CWC Qualifier Play-off. From this stage, only the top four teams will progress to the CWC Qualifier.
