  • Historic moment: Nepal clinched ODI status in Zimbabwe

    Nepal will play their first-ever ODI when they take on the Netherlands in August, it was confirmed.

    The two nations will play on August 1 and 3 at Voorburg CC and VRA Ground in Amstelveen in a two-match series that follows a T20I at Lord’s on July 29.

    Nepal secured ODI status until 2022 after finishing ahead of Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea in the World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe. For Netherlands, it will be the first ODI since 2014 after regaining the status following their World Cricket League Championship triumph.

    Netherlands coach Ryan Campbell, said: “It’s going to be a fantastic series for both countries as it will be our first ODI since regaining our status lost in 2014, it will also be Nepal’s first ODI ever.

    “These games also present us with another opportunity to expose our youngsters to top quality cricket and I’m excited to keep watching their development.”
