Nepal were set to host Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for ODI matches as part of their path to qualification in the Cricket World Cup (CWC) League 2. The six matches between the three countries were supposed to take place at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post made by Cricket Nepal, the announcement of CWC League 2 matches being postponed was made. The post also said that the rescheduled dates will be announced in the coming days.
The matches between Nepal, Oman, and the UAE were scheduled to begin on the 10th of March. The Nepal vs Oman clash was supposed to be played today. The hosts would have played the UAE on the 14th of March.
After the series, the next set of CWC League Two matches is to be played in Namibia. Scotland and Oman will be taking on the hosts in yet another ODI tri-series. Currently, these matches are scheduled to begin on the 2nd of April.
The CWC League 2 acts as a pathway for qualification to the ODI World Cup 2027. It is an eight-team league, where the top four teams will make it to the ODI World Cup qualifiers. The ODI World Cup in 2027 will be a 14-team event. The 10 full-member teams will automatically qualify for the tournament courtesy of their ranking and hosting status.
The other four spots will be up for grabs in the ODI World Cup qualifiers. Among Nepal, the UAE, and Oman, it is the latter that has a chance of making it into the ODI World Cup qualifiers.
While the United States of America ranks first in the CWC League 2, Scotland, the Netherlands, and Oman are placed second, third, and fourth, respectively. As things stand currently, these four teams will make it to the ODI World Cup qualifiers.
Oman was supposed to play four matches in the now-postponed series. Three wins in those four games would have taken them to joint-second position on the table with Scotland.
