About UAE vs Nepal 2022
The Nepal cricket team is scheduled to tour the United Arab Emirates in January and February 2019 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches, with all the fixtures taking place at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.
It is going to be the second bilateral ODI series for Nepal; the first being against the Netherlands in August 2018, drawing the two-match series 1–1. The next ODI match for Nepal was against UAE which they played in ACC Asia Cup Qualifier 2018, with UAE winning by 78 runs.
Nepal had earned One Day International (ODI) status last year on March following an eighth place finish in the ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2018 in Zimbabwe.
Squads
On 1 January 2019, Nepal's head coach Jagat Tamata and captain Paras Khadka named a twenty-man preliminary squad for the tour.
The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) announced their squad without their regular captain Rohan Mustafa, as he was suspended for breaching the ECB's Player's Code of Conduct, with Mohammad Naveed being named as the captain of the team.
