In a landmark move, Nepal will host the West Indies for a three-match T20I series this September in Sharjah. Although the games will take place at a neutral venue, Nepal is officially designated as the host.
First-Ever Bilateral Series Between the Two Teams
This series marks the first bilateral encounter between Nepal and the West Indies. Cricket West Indies (CWI) hailed the event as historic and emphasized its goal of supporting emerging cricketing nations.

He said, “This series is more than just a set of international matches—it’s a celebration of the game’s expanding global footprint.” He added that as a full-member cricket nation, West Indies has a duty to help other countries grow.
Dehring noted the importance of helping Nepal during this crucial period in its cricketing development.
“We are proud to stand with Nepal at this moment in their history and look forward to exciting and competitive cricket in Sharjah,” he said.
