Nepal is currently focused on two major cricket objectives: preparing for the third edition of the Nepal Premier League (NPL) and securing its One Day International (ODI) status through the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2.

Regarding the NPL, officials are finalizing infrastructure and management upgrades at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, specifically targeting seating capacity and spectator access. 

In the competitive arena, Nepal has made significant progress in its quest to maintain ODI standing. During an ICC League 2 match, Nepal defeated Oman by 113 runs. After captain Rohit Paudel anchored a total of 263, the Nepali bowling attack, led by Nandan Yadav and Sandeep Lamichhane with three wickets each, dismissed Oman for 150. This victory brings Nepal to a total of 30 points from 35 matches.
