Kathmandu – International Cricket Council (ICC) have listed Nepal in their ICC Reliance T20I Rankings after they granted Nepal and Netherlands at the two days Annual conference held in Melbourne.
There are 14 teams in the ranking list in which India with 131 rating tops the table while newcomer Netherlands are listed at 11th position but due to insufficient matches Nepal doesn’t have ranking numbers.
Nepal have played 3 T20I matches in ICC World Cup 2014 at Bangladesh and have earned 190 points with 63 rating.
Altogether, there are now eight Associate sides with T20I status. The other six are Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and United Arab Emirates (UAE) which already have T20I status by virtue of having ODI status.
