Pitch Report

The fresh pitch should offer a great chance for the batters to make merry in the early part of the series. The team winning the toss will want to bowl first and chase down the total on the board. Spin bowlers will come into play once the ball gets old.

Player Picks

C

Rohit Kumar Paudel NEP | BAT

Ever since the retirement of Paras Khadka, young Rohit Paudel has taken the mantle of captaincy well. The right-handed batter has been one of the key forces in the development of Nepal Cricket in recent times.

7.5
C

Gareth Delany ILW | BAT

The Irish cricketer has already played 21 ODI and 67 T20I games for his national side. Gareth Delaney will look to make full use of this tour and put his name back on the books of the Irish selectors for a return to the senior side.

8

Kushal Bhurtel NEP | BAT

Known to be an attacking batter, Kushal Bhurtel has given Nepal Cricket good starts. His consistency in recent times have made him one of the key members for his national team. Kushal Bhurtel is also known to be a giant striker of the ball at the top of the order.

9.5

James McCollum ILW | BAT

28-year-old McCollam has been out of the Irish Team for a while not. He has played 10 ODI matches and 6 Tests for his side the last of which came in 2023. McCollom is a technically gifted batter who is yet to play T20 cricket for Ireland. His strike rate of 125 in the domestic T20 matches shows the class he has with the bat.

8

Asif Sheikh NEP | WK

Dashing wicketkeeper and batter Asif Sheikh has given his side rousing starts with the bat. Apart from his explosive batting, Sheikh is also a very good wicket keeper with the ability to keep well against the spinners and pacers.

9

Matthew Humphreys ILW | BOWL

A very good spin bowler, Matthew Humphreys has been earmarked as a potential replacement for George Dockrell. The 22-year-old has been in good wicket taking form in domestic cricket with his flight and guile.

Pratis GC

NEP | BAT

At the age of 19, Pratish GC has already become a key part of the Nepal side. Lack of experience with the ball though has seen his initiation into international cricket become taxing.

5

Ross Adair

ILW | ALL

Once a member of the Ireland senior side, Ross Adair hasnā€™t been able to score runs. The 29-year-old last played in 2023 in the local Irish leagues and struggled to put up a decent score on the board.
