Nepal will play the 50 overs matches against Singapore, Air India & Delhi Wanderers in Tribhuvan University Ground and Pulchowk Engineering Ground respectively. The tournament is well supported by Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN).
“This tournament will be fruitful to our team before leaving to New Zealand. However this would help the team to change its mode from Twenty20 to One dayers which is very important.

Come one, Come All.”, said Aamir Akhar, the organiser of the event.
