Nepal and the West Indies will face each other in a historic first-ever bilateral T20 International cricket series. The three-match series is scheduled to take place in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, from September 27 to September 30, 2025. This series offers both teams crucial preparation ahead of major tournaments. The West Indies aim to fine-tune their squad before the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Nepal will use the matches as their final warm-up before competing in the Asia/East Asia-Pacific Qualifier, where they hope to secure one of three T20 World Cup spots available through a nine-team tournament.
Chris Dehring, West Indies Cricket Board chief executive, said the series reflects pride and unity in cricket. Supporting Nepal during this stage helps grow the sport locally and internationally and marks an important moment for both nations. The series is expected to bring exciting and competitive cricket to Sharjah.
Nepal has shown strong recent performances, including a notable run against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup 2024, where Nepal’s batsmen challenged the Bangladesh top order during the powerplay. Nepal also narrowly lost a thrilling match against South Africa by just one run, highlighting their rising competitiveness against top cricket teams and raising expectations for the upcoming series against the West Indies.
The three T20I matches will take place in Sharjah on September 27, 28, and 30, 2025. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium is well known for hosting important international cricket fixtures.
This series is important for the West Indies as they look to test and improve their team before the T20 World Cup. For Nepal, this is a key moment in their cricket journey. They need success in the Asia/East Asia-Pacific Qualifier to qualify for the global tournament. The Sharjah matches will give them valuable international experience and help them prepare under real match conditions.
This series marks a milestone for Nepal cricket and shows how the sport is growing in emerging nations. Cricket fans from both countries and around the world will be watching closely as Nepal and West Indies compete in Sharjah.
