women's Twenty20 cricket preparation tournament organised by
CAN ahead of the qualifier. The preparation series was held in January 2026 at the Mulpani ground.
CAN scheduled a short preparation tournament to provide its players with competitive match practice under local conditions. The tournament was officially announced by the
Cricket Association of Nepal on 6 January 2026 through its verified social media platforms. The tournament was intended to: • Provide competitive match practice ahead of the Global Qualifier • Assist team management in assessing player form and combinations • Allow teams to acclimatise to playing conditions in Nepal The tournament featured the
Nepal women's national team playing preparation matches against the
United States and
Scotland women's teams, who were participants in the Global Qualifier. Although
Zimbabwe were named in early reports, they did not take part in the series; as a result, the
United States played an additional match against Nepal. There was one warm-up match before the preparation series: ---- The January fixtures were announced by
CAN on 6th of December. ---- ----
