They do not have test status. They have been an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1996.[8] Nepal were awarded Twenty20 International (T20I) status by the ICC in June 2014 until the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier and earned One Day International (ODI) status in 2018.

Nepal has not qualified for any edition of the Cricket World Cup, however they have appeared in World Cup Qualifier 3 times.

The team has also played 118 Twenty20 International matches, winning 67, losing 45, tying 3 and with 3 ending in a no-result.

They have also appeared in the Asia Cup in 2023 and Asian Games in 2010, 2014 and 2022.

History

Beginnings

According to the 1877 book, History of Nepal edited by Daniel Wright:

"Attempts have been made at various times by their tutors to get the young men to play cricket and other games, but such amusements are thought degrading".[9]

Over time, cricket came to be considered a gentleman's sport, and involvement was limited mainly to the ruling Rana family and other members of the Nepali elite.

In 1946, the Cricket Association of Nepal was formed to promote cricket amongst the aristocracy. After the introduction of democracy through the Revolution of 1951, cricket began to spread to the rest of the population. In 1961, in an effort to promote cricket to the whole of Nepal, the Cricket Association of Nepal became part of the National Sports Council. Nevertheless, the National games tended to be limited to Kathmandu Valley until the 1980s.[10][11]

ICC membership

Improvements to communications and transport infrastructure in Nepal allowed the game to expand outside Kathmandu in the 1980s[11] and Nepal became an Affiliate Member of the International Cricket Council in 1988.[8] A major development program was begun in the early 1990s, which saw regional and district tournaments being established and the increased promotion of cricket in schools.[11]

The local population's interest in cricket increased quickly, and the demand to play was such that restrictions had to be placed on the number of teams in several tournaments until more facilities could be built in the mid-1990s.[11] Nepal became an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council on February 2, 1996,[8] which was the year the national team played for the first time in the 1996 ACC Trophy in Kuala Lumpur.

By 1998, the facilities in Nepal had improved sufficiently to allow them to host that year's ACC Trophy at grounds in Lalitpur and Kirtipur (at TU Cricket Ground) and Kathmandu.[12]

Currently, the country has one of the best fan followings among ICC Associate Members. It lost for three years its governing body, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) which was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to unnecessary government interference in 2016, but it was reinstated in October 2019.[13][14]

21st century

2000 – 2009

In 2000, Nepal's youth development policy began to pay off when the Nepal national under-19 cricket team finished eighth in the Under-19 World Cup. The senior team had their best performance to date later in the year when they reached the semi-finals of the 2000 ACC Trophy before losing to Hong Kong at Sharjah.[15] They competed in the ICC Trophy for the first time the following year. In the tournament in Ontario, they beat Germany and Gibraltar, but a loss to eventual runners-up Namibia prevented them from progressing past the first round.[16]

Nepal were runners-up to the UAE in the 2002 ACC Trophy in Singapore[17] and they hosted the ACC Emerging Nations Tournament in 2003, winning easily against Bhutan and the Maldives. They won so comprehensively that they were not invited back to the tournament the next time it was played in 2005.[11] Raju Khadka became the first Nepalese cricketer to score an international century, when he slammed an unbeaten 105 off just 50 balls against Bhutan in the tournament.[18]

Nepal played first-class cricket for the first time in 2004, playing in the ICC Intercontinental Cup against the UAE and Malaysia. They beat Malaysia,[19] but drew with the UAE,[20] failing to reach the semi-final stage. Nepal finished third in the 2004 ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament, which qualified them for the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup,[21] and finished 5th in the 2004 ACC Trophy, which qualified them for the repêchage tournament of the 2005 ICC Trophy. They finished third in this tournament after beating Qatar[22] in a play-off, meaning that they did not qualify for the 2005 ICC Trophy. Shakti Gauchan scored a century against Italy and stayed unbeaten on 106 off 103 balls in the tournament.[23] They beat the UAE and drew with Hong Kong in the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup, but missed out on qualification for the semi-finals by half a point. They were runners-up to the UAE in the 2005 ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament.[24]

In March 2006, Nepal played Namibia in Windhoek in a play-off match to decide the final team in the 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup. Nepal needed to win outright to qualify for the main tournament, but the match was drawn after there was no play on the first day.[25] Later in the year, they toured Pakistan, playing against the Pakistan Cricket Academy[26] before playing in the 2006 ACC Trophy in Kuala Lumpur.

In the 2006 ACC Trophy, Nepal bowled Myanmar out for just 10 runs off 12.1 overs after winning the toss and sending Myanmar in; no batsman scored more than one, the innings included five ducks, with a top score of five extras (three leg byes and two wides). Mehboob Alam and Binod Das picked up seven and three wickets, respectively.[27] In reply, Nepal hit three off the first ball, followed by three wides that went for five, and then hit another three from the second legitimate delivery to win by ten wickets. Some critics called it the greatest mismatch in the history of international cricket[28] and the score of 10 is the lowest in any level of men's international cricket. They finished fourth in the tournament after losing to Afghanistan in a play-off.[29] They won the ACC Premier League in 2006.[30]

They played in the 2007 ACC Twenty20 Cup in Kuwait, where they finished fourth in their first round group.[31]

In May 2008, Nepal traveled to Jersey to play in 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Five of the World Cricket League. Mehboob Alam set the world record by taking all ten wickets in the match against Mozambique. He got his name in the Guinness World Records for this, becoming the first bowler to take all 10 wickets in an ICC international cricket match with limited overs.[32] Nepal topped Group A after the group qualifying matches but lost to Afghanistan in the semi-final[33] and finished third overall after defeating the USA in the playoff for third place.[34] With only the top two from this tournament qualifying for 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Four in Tanzania later in the year, Nepal missed out on the chance to take their 2011 World Cup dream any further. Later, Nepal appeared in the 2008 ACC Trophy Elite and finished fourth after losing to the UAE in the semi-final[35] and to Afghanistan in the playoff for third place.[36]

Nepal finished fifth in the 2009 ACC Twenty20 Cup after beating Singapore by 9 wickets in the playoff for fifth place.[37] In a group match against Kuwait, Nepal needed 7 runs off the last ball to win. Binod Bhandari, making his debut for the national team, hit a last-ball six to tie the match. Eventually Nepal won the match in bowl-out.[38]

2010 – 2014

Nepal won their first major tournament, beating USA in the final of 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Five held at Kathmandu in February 2010.[39] Sharad Vesawkar scored a century and stayed unbeaten on 105 off 134 balls against Fiji in the tournament.[40] Nepal played very well in 2010 ACC Trophy Elite, winning all the matches in group stage and beating Malaysia in the semi-final by 8 runs[41] but lost the final against an ODI team Afghanistan by 95 runs and finished runners-up.[42] Nepal came third in 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Four, thus remaining in Division Four for 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four.[43] In November, Nepal appeared in 2010 Asian Games and lost against Sri Lanka in the quarter-final.[44] It was the first match Nepal had played against a Full Member nation.

In December 2011, Nepal hosted the 2011 ACC Twenty20 Cup and finished fourth, thereby qualifying for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.[45]

Nepal faced Afghanistan in the 3 match T20I series and 5 match ODI series at the start of 2012 but Afghanistan defeated Nepal 3-0 in the T20I series and again defeated Nepal 5-0 in the ODI series.[46]

Nepal finished seventh in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier after defeating Kenya[47] and Papua New Guinea[48] in play-offs. Shakti Gauchan took the first international hat-trick for Nepal against Denmark in the tournament.[49] In September 2012, Nepal appeared in 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four, where Subash Khakurel and Anil Mandal each scored a century. Subash Khakurel scored 115 off 142 balls against United States[50] and Anil Mandal scored 113 off 134 balls against Denmark.[51] In a match against Malaysia, Shakti Gauchan set up Nepal's convincing victory with a new record. The left-arm orthodox spinner's figures of 10–8–2–3 is the best economical bowling spell ever in limited over encounters.[52][53] Nepal won all the six matches of the tournament and progressed to 2013 ICC World Cricket League Division Three. Nepalese players won man of the match awards in all the six matches Nepal played and Basanta Regmi won the player of the tournament award after taking a total of 21 wickets in the tournament.[54] In October, Nepal competed in 2012 ACC Trophy Elite and had to share the trophy with the UAE after a thrilling tied final in Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE on 12 October 2012. UAE posted 241, a target that looked in Nepal's sight after their 94-run opening stand. However, they lost wickets consistently, and eventually needed 12 off the last over with just two wickets in hand. Shakti Gauchan smacked Shadeep Silva's left-arm for a six, but could manage only one run off the last ball, hence ending a splendid final match in a tie.[55] Skipper Paras Khadka scored an unbeaten 106 off just 77 balls against Kuwait, his maiden century for Nepal, in the tournament.[56]

Nepal competed in 2013 ACC Twenty20 Cup held at home grounds in Kirtipur and Lalitpur. Nepal easily marched towards the final of the tournament with high class performance from their captain, Paras Khadka, and the team thrashed the UAE by 6 wickets.[57] Nepal had earlier qualified for 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, reaching the semi-final of the tournament. Nepal had to be satisfied with runners-up status after losing to an ODI team Afghanistan by 7 wickets.[58] The Nepalese team was supported by a huge fan following throughout this tournament with an average turnout of 15,000 – 20,000 (about 25,000 in the semi-final and final) during their matches while hundreds of thousands watched live on television – undoubtedly the largest public support outside the Test-playing nations.[59] Nepal won the 2013 ICC World Cricket League Division Three held in Bermuda and qualified for the 2014 World Cup Qualifier.[60] Nepal also played in 2013 ACC Emerging Teams Cup, where under-23 age level teams of the four Test nations – Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka took part along with the UAE, Afghanistan and the hosts Singapore.[61] Nepal finished third in 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier held in UAE[62] and qualified for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, defeating Hong Kong off the last ball of the thrilling quarter-final.[63]

T20I status and series

On 28 June 2014, the ICC awarded T20I status to Nepal, who took part and performed exceptionally well in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20.[64][65] Nepal had already played three T20I matches before gaining the status, as the ICC had earlier announced that all matches at the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 would have T20I status.[66]

Nepal played their first ever Twenty20 International series against Hong Kong in November 2014 in Sri Lanka. Initially the series was scheduled for three matches[68] but only one match was played because of continuous rain and poor ground conditions.[69] Nepal lost the match but Sompal Kami put in an impressive performance by scoring 40 off 31 balls,[70] coming in at No. 10. This was the world-record for the highest score made by a batsman at that position.[71]

Nepal played their second Twenty20 International series against the Netherlands from 30 June to 3 July 2015. Nepal lost the 4 match series 3–1. Paras Khadka was named the player of the series.[72]

Nepal missed out on qualification for the 2015 World Cup, finishing ninth in the 2014 World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand in January.[73] Nepal were the best of the three associate teams on display in Group A of the 2014 ICC World Twenty20. They comprehensively beat Hong Kong,[74] held their own with the bat against Bangladesh[75] and pulled off a strong win against Afghanistan,[76] their first since 2004 in any format against their old rivals.[77] Nepal's bowlers did not bowl a single wide or no ball throughout the tournament.[78] Nepal were also the only team to not concede 140 in an innings in the tournament.[79] Nepal finished third in the 2014 ACC Premier League, where they beat ODI teams UAE[80] and Hong Kong, and qualified for the 2014 ACC Championship.[81] In September, Nepal participated in the 2014 Asian Games but failed to qualify beyond quarter-finals.[82] Nepal won the 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Three held in Malaysia and qualified for the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two.[83] Gyanendra Malla scored his maiden century, 114 off 125 balls, against Singapore in the tournament.[84] In November, Nepal toured Sri Lanka, as Sri Lanka Cricket approved a request from the Asian Cricket Council to support the region's Non-Test playing countries,[85] where they played two three-day matches against Sri Lanka Cricket Combined XI.[86][87] and a Twenty20 International series against Hong Kong.

2015 – 2019

Nepal finished fourth in the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two in Namibia[88] and qualified for the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship.[89] But Nepal failed to secure promotion to Division One and qualification to 2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup after finishing third in the round-robin stage.[90][91] Basanta Regmi became the first bowler to take 100 wickets in the World Cricket League. He achieved this feat after taking 2 wickets against Netherlands in the tournament. On 11 April 2015, Nepal hosted a 63-over (31.3 overs per side) tribute match in honour of the Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes who was batting on 63 when he was struck by a bouncer. The match was played at the TU Cricket Ground, Kirtipur between Team Red, combined of players of Nepal and Australia and Team Blue, composed of all Nepalese players.[92] In June, Nepal toured Netherlands to play a Twenty20 International series against the home team. Then Nepal appeared in the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier held in Ireland and Scotland, where the team finished seventh in the Group A,[93] thus failing to qualify for the second consecutive ICC World Twenty20.[94]

Nepal finished second in 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two to earn a place in the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. On 15 March, Nepal claimed One Day International (ODI) status for the first time with their win over Papua New Guinea in the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier 9th place play off encounter.[95] Due to gaining ODI status, Nepal also regained Twenty20 International (T20I) status. After gaining ODI status, Nepal's captain at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier, Paras Khadka, said that they want to gain Test status, which he believes will take between eight and ten years to achieve.[96]

In the same match, Lamichhane became the fastest bowler to 100 ODI wickets, reaching the mark in 42 matches, beating Rashid Khan's record of 44. After topping their group and defeating Kuwait in a rain-affected semi-final, Nepal faced UAE in the final. In a match interrupted by rain, Nepal restricted the UAE to 117, led by Lalit Rajbanshi's 4/14. They chased the target comfortably thanks to Jha's unbeaten 67.[139] Despite heavy downpours, thousands of devoted Nepali fans remained at the stadium, gaining widespread international attention and praise. The victory confirmed Nepal's first-ever qualification for the Asia Cup.

At the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe, Nepal's opening match against hosts Zimbabwe on June 18 was the first time Nepal played an ODI against a Full Member nation. Kushal Bhurtel scored 99 and Aasif Sheikh 66 in a record 171-run opening stand yet it wasn't enough as Zimbabwe won by eight wickets. Nepal beat USA in their second match, with Karan KC taking four wickets and Bhim Sharki scoring 77*. They lost to West Indies and Netherlands, failing to reach the Super Six and finishing eighth out of ten teams after also losing the seventh-place playoff final to Ireland.

Nepal played their first Asia Cup in August and September 2023, placed in Group A alongside India and Pakistan. In the opening match versus Pakistan at Multan Cricket Stadium, Pakistan posted a target of 343 with the help of Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed century and Nepal were bowled out for 104 in 23.4 overs and lost by 238 runs. The second match at Pallekele was Nepal's first ever official match against India. The fixture was highly anticipated, drawing widespread attention across the subcontinent and regarded as a landmark moment for Nepali cricket. Nepal batted first and put up a competitive total. Aasif Sheikh top-scored with 58 off 97 balls and Sompal Kami struck 48 off 56 in the lower order as Nepal were dismissed for 230. In the rain affected match, India easily chased down the revised target of 145 run with the help of an unbroken 147-run opening stand from Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill to win by ten wickets. Despite the loss, Nepal's performance drew praise from commentators and cricket observers, with Nepal widely noted as having given India a good fight.[140] Nepal did not advance from the group stage, with Pakistan and India qualifying for the Super Fours.

At the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Nepal posted 314/3 against Mongolia, the highest team total in T20I history at the time. Kushal Malla scored 137* off 50 balls, including the fastest T20I century on record at 34 balls, while Dipendra Singh Airee hit the fastest T20I fifty at 9 balls.[141] Nepal beat Maldives in the next match but lost to India by 23 runs in the quarter-final.

Nepal qualified for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup after defeating UAE in semifinal of 2023 Asia Regional Final. This marked Nepal's second World Cup appearance and their first in 10 years. Competing in Group D, they were drawn alongside the Netherlands, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Bangladesh. Nepal lost their opening match to the Netherlands, and their subsequent fixture against Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain. In the 3rd match, the Nepali bowlers restricted the Proteas to 115 runs. However, Nepal fell heartbreakingly short, losing by just one run after a run-out on the final ball. Already eliminated before their final group match, Nepal ended their campaign with a loss to Bangladesh, where they were bowled out for 85.

In September 2025, Nepal faced the West Indies at Sharjah Cricket Stadium for their first-ever bilateral T20I series against a Full Member, even though the Caribbean side rested several key players. The series was named the Unity Cup commemorating the resilience shown during the 2025 Gen Z protests. Nepal won the opening match by 19 runs, recording their first ever T20I victory against a Full Member nation. They sealed the series in the second match with a 90-run win, dismissing West Indies for 83, the lowest total by a Full Member team against an Associate nation in T20Is. West Indies won the third match by 10 wickets, but Nepal finished 2-1, also marking the first time Nepal won a bilateral series against a Full Member team. Kushal Bhurtel was named Player of the Series, largely due to his bowling performance.

Nepal qualified for the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, hosted by India and Sri Lanka, through the Asia/East Asia-Pacific Qualifier held in Oman in October 2025. Their opening match against England at Wankhede Stadium was the most talked-about of their campaign. England posted 184 runs on the board with the help of half-centuries from Will Jacks and Jacob Bethell. Nepal nearly pulled off the tournament's biggest upset, needing just 10 runs from the final over, but Sam Curran’s precise yorkers denied them victory. Despite being praised for their performance against England, Nepal suffered a shock 10-wicket defeat to Italy in their next game. Against West Indies, Nepal recovered from a top-order collapse with Dipendra Singh Airee scoring 58 off 47 balls but were beaten comfortably. Nepal's campaign ended with three consecutive defeats before their final group match against Scotland, where Airee's unbeaten 50 off 23 balls helped them to a seven-wicket win, Nepal's first T20 World Cup victory in 12 years and their first in the main tournament.
