The Nepal cricket team, known as the ‘Rhinos,’ will be using the facilities at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to gear up for their upcoming Cricket World Cup League 2 assignment in Canada. The team will train at the NCA for two weeks before heading to Canada, where they will compete in a tri-series against the hosts and Oman.
Currently ranked sixth in the League 2 table, Nepal is focused on improving their standing with strong performances. The Cricket Association of Nepal announced on X, “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!”
Notable players such as captain Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, and Sandeep Lamichhane were recently involved in Canada’s Global T20 league. Nepal had previously visited India for training matches, playing against Gujarat and Baroda in Vapi before their participation in the T20 World Cup 2024 in the Americas.
The Rhinos aim to finish in the top four of the League 2 table by December 2026 to secure a spot in the CWC Qualifier. If they fail to achieve this, they will face the CWC Qualifier Play-off, with the top four teams advancing to the CWC Qualifier.
