Nepal vs Oman The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series scheduled in Nepal has been postponed due to the ongoing military tensions in West Asia. The series was set to feature Nepal, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and was planned to take place from March 10 to March 20 at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.
However, organisers decided to delay the matches after reviewing the current security situation.
Nepal vs Oman Six Matches in Nepal Leg Put on Hold
A total of six matches were scheduled during the Nepal leg of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2. The tri-series format would have seen Nepal, Oman, and UAE face each other multiple times as part of the league schedule.
Due to the tensions affecting travel and security conditions in parts of West Asia, officials felt it was best to postpone the fixtures until further notice.
Cricket Association of Nepal Confirms Postponement
The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) confirmed the decision through an official statement shared on its X (formerly Twitter) account. According to the board, the matches have been postponed temporarily and discussions are ongoing with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the participating cricket boards.
The statement noted that the games scheduled to begin on March 10 in Kathmandu will be rescheduled once consultations are completed and a suitable window is identified.
