The 2020 Nepal Tri-Nation Series was the fifth round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament and took place in Nepal in February 2020.[1] [2] It was a tri-nation series between Nepal, Oman and the United States cricket teams,[3] with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[1] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[4] [5] The matches were the first ODIs to be played in Nepal.[6] [7] On 20 January 2020, the United States confirmed their squad for the series, with Steven Taylor stripped of his vice-captaincy role for disciplinary issues, but being retained in the squad.[8]
