ECB Weighs Short England T20I Tour to Nepal in 2027–31 Cycle

Overview

• England’s board, in an ESPNcricinfo report Monday, was said to be exploring a two‑ or three‑match T20I visit to Nepal within the 2027–31 schedule.
• The discussions followed CAN secretary Paras Khadka meeting ECB officials in India after the February 8 World Cup game in Mumbai that England won by four runs.
• Any series would likely slot in before a subcontinent white‑ball tour to serve as preparation and keep the trip to only a few extra days.
• Feasibility hinges on England finding space in a crowded 2027 season that includes the home Ashes and planned visits by Pakistan and New Zealand.
• The ECB is also waiting on possible World Test Championship changes that could free short tour windows, while a trip would mark a first for Nepal against a major Test side and build on Ireland’s five‑year pact with CAN that includes a 2026–27 white‑ball tour.
