Nepal’s women cricketers will play three T20 Internationals against Qatar next week, according to Qatar Cricket Association President Yousef Jeham Al Kuwari.

 

A 15-member Qatar team has been declared for the matches on November 16, 17 and 18. The matches will be played between 1 pm to 4.30 pm.

 

“We are indeed very pleased to host Nepal for three T20 International matches in Qatar and we wish thank the International Cricket Council for having given clearance to this bilateral series,” said Al Kuwari.
