Cricket West Indies Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe, said the series will provide the side with opportunities to impress ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka at the start of next year.
“This series against Nepal is another important step in broadening the horizons of West Indies cricket. It allows our senior men’s team to engage with a passionate emerging nation while providing invaluable match experience in different conditions,” he said.
“Beyond the immediate competition, this tour speaks to our long-term vision of developing a squad that is adaptable, resilient and ready for global challenges. Taking West Indies cricket into new territories and against new opposition also helps us grow the game, inspire new fans, and strengthen the brand of West Indies cricket worldwide.”
