Nepal initially missed out on the tournament after a narrow defeat against Malaysia in the semifinal of the ACC Women’s Premier Cup, as only two spots were available. However, the ACC later announced that all semifinalists from that tournament would qualify, confirming Nepal’s place as well.
Currently, the Nepalese team is rigorously training in Kathmandu in preparation for the Asia Cup. They are in a closed camp, and the final squad is yet to be announced.
Nepal’s Schedule:
July 19 – vs UAE
July 21 – vs Pakistan
July 23 – vs India
