A four-nation T20 International series will begin in Hong Kong on April 9, 2025. Former Nepal cricket captain Gyanendra Malla has been appointed as the head coach of the Nepal national cricket team for this series. His appointment comes after the initial coach, Australian Stuart Law, was unable to join the team due to travel issues.
Gyanendra Malla’s Role as Coach
Gyanendra Malla had previously served as the coach for Nepal during the Hong Kong Sixes tournament in November 2024. Even though Stuart Law had been named the coach of the Nepal team last week, Malla will now take charge for the upcoming series, ensuring continuity and stability in the coaching role.
Teams Participating in the Series
The series will feature four teams: the host nation Hong Kong, Nepal, Kuwait, and Qatar. All teams will play each other once in a round-robin format. The top two teams from the group stage will compete in the final, while the remaining two teams will face off for third place.
Tournament Format and Schedule
The tournament is set to begin on April 9, 2025, in Hong Kong. Each team will play one match against the other three teams in the round-robin stage. After these matches, the top two teams will advance to the final, while the other two will compete for third place. This format ensures an exciting and competitive series for all teams involved.
