Nepal to host Bangladesh for historic three-match T20I series

Nepal will host Bangladesh for a series of three T20 Internationals in Kirtipur later this year as part of a joint effort between the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The matches, scheduled for March 26, 28 and 30, 2027, will mark a landmark occasion for Nepal, as Bangladesh becomes the first Test-playing nation to visit the country for a bilateral series.

Additionally, the series will be a tribute to those who lost their lives in the recent devastating floods that hit Nepal. Both boards expressed their solidarity with the bereaved families and communities affected by the disaster. The partnership between the two boards extends beyond the T20I series, with Bangladesh pledging to support the development of Nepal's women's cricket, age-group programmes and capacity-building initiatives.

The boards also hinted at future tours involving the Nepal A team and bilateral A-team series between the two countries. The collaboration aims to promote unity, empathy and solidarity between Nepal and Bangladesh through the platform of cricket while strengthening long-term cooperation for the development of Nepali cricket.
