Cricket West India (CWI) is delighted to announce the 15-person team for the historic T20 International Series against Nepal, to play in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE of 27-30 September.
This groundbreaking series is part of the structure of the team to the ICC T20 World Cup in 2026, which will be increased in subcontinity conditions.

Akeal Hosein, an important member of the T20i Leadership Group, has been appointed captain of the team, with six potential debutants. Rayon Griffith will lead the team management unit as head coach, with experienced former West Indies head coach Ottis Gibson who serves as a fast consultant.
About the meaning of the series, Cricket West India said director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe,:
“This series against Nepal is another important step in broadening the horizon of West -India Cricket. It enables our senior men’s team to make contact with a passionate emerging nation and at the same time offering invaluable match experience in various circumstances.”
“After the immediate competition, this tour speaks to our long-term vision on the development of a team that is adaptable, resilient and ready for global challenges. Taking the West India Cricket to new areas and against new opposition also helps us grow the game, inspire new fans and strengthen the West India-Cricket brand worldwide.”
