The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has confirmed that the national Under-19 women’s team will play two international tournaments in November 2026 as preparation for the ICC Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup. The side will first travel to China for the Belt and Road U19 Girls T20I from 3 to 8 November, then take part in a tri-series in Bangalore, India, from 10 to 22 November.

According to a CAN press release issued by secretary Paras Khadka, the China event is a four-team tournament hosted at TSCC and featuring the home sides of Nepal, Hong Kong, and Thailand. Nepal’s confirmed fixtures in the Belt and Road series are:

• 3 November, 1:00 PM: Thailand v Nepal
• 4 November, 8:30 AM: China v Nepal
• 5 November, 8:30 AM: Nepal v Hong Kong, China
• 6 November, 12:30 PM: Thailand v Nepal
• 7 November, 8:30 AM: China v Nepal
• 8 November, 8:30 AM: Nepal v Hong Kong, China

The second assignment is a tri-series at the Centre of Excellence in Bangalore. CAN states that Nepal U19 women will compete against India U19 women’s A and B teams. The published schedule for the Bangalore event lists:

• 12 November, 1:00 PM: India B v Nepal
• 14 November, 1:00 PM: India A v Nepal
• 18 November, 1:00 PM: India B v Hong Kong, China
• 20 November, 1:00 PM: India A v Nepal
• 22 November, 1:00 PM: Finals

These matches form part of Nepal’s build-up to the 2027 ICC Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, which Nepal will co-host with Bangladesh from 21 January to 6 February. Nepal has been placed in Group A alongside defending champions India, Ireland, and the West Indies, with all of its group-stage games scheduled at the TU International Cricket Stadium in Kirtipur.

The two November tournaments will give the U19 squad competitive exposure against regional and stronger opposition before the World Cup. CAN has not yet released the squad for either series. With the World Cup beginning less than three months after the Bangalore tri-series ends, the November program represents the final major international preparation window for the side.
