Nepal men’s national cricket team represents the country of Nepal in International cricket and is governed by the Cricket Association of Nepal. They are Associate Members of the International Cricket Council since 1996. In June 2014, the ICC awarded Nepal Twenty20 International (T20I) status until the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier. Nepal then earned One Day International (ODI) status in 2018.
According to Daniel Wright’s 1877 book History of Nepal, “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.”Over time, cricket came to be viewed as a gentleman’s sport, with involvement limited mainly to the ruling Rana family and Nepali elite. After the formation of the Cricket Association of Nepal in 1946, cricket was initially limited to the aristocracy. However, following the Revolution of 1951 and the introduction of democracy, the sport began to spread throughout the general population. In an effort to further promote cricket nationwide, the Cricket Association joined the National Sports Council in 1961. Even so, the National games remained largely confined to Kathmandu Valley until the 1980s.
