Cricket Association of Nepal
Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) is the official governing body of cricket in Nepal. Its headquarters are situated in Mulpani, Kathmandu. It is Nepal's representative at the International Cricket Council and has been an associate member since 1996 AD (2053 BS). It is also a member of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).
The board was dissolved by the government of Nepal in November 2014 on the grounds of incompetence and a three-member ad hoc committee was established with a new president designated by the government itself.
In April 2016, CAN was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC), on the grounds of government interference in its operations. However the suspension did not prevent Nepal's national teams from participating in ICC tournaments.
The ICC welcomed the elections of the board held in September 2019. On 13 October 2019, the ICC lifted its suspension of the Cricket Association of Nepal, and formally reinstated the board on a conditional basis on 14 October.
Men's white-ball team: Nepal played their first One-Day International in August 2018 and has since won multiple ICC tournaments, including two T20 World Cups. As of April 2025, Rohit Paudel leads the ODI & T20I team.
Women's team: Nepal qualified for their first Women's T20 global qualifier in 2025. They haven't won any women's tournaments yet, but they've been steadily rising in recent years. As of April 2025, the team is captained by Indu Barma.
Under-19s team: Men's U-19 and Women's U-19 teams regularly compete in the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cups. The most recent captains (2025) are Naren Bhatta for the men's team and Puja Mahato for the women's team.
Reserves (A team): The Nepal A is the second-tier men's team, focusing on developing players and providing them with exposure through tours and warm-up matches. The team plays in various formats to prepare players for the senior team.
