Nepalese cricket team in Malaysia in 2019

The Nepal cricket team toured Malaysia in July 2019 to play a two-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series.[1][2] The fixtures were part of both teams' preparation for the Asian Regional Qualifying Finals tournament for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier.[1][2] Both matches were played at the Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur.[1][2] Ahead of the tour, Nepal's captain Paras Khadka named a twenty five-man preliminary squad for the Asian Regional Qualifying Finals,[3][4] which was trimmed down to the final fourteen players.[5] Nepal won the series 2–0, their first ever series whitewash.[6] Malaysia retained the same squad for Asian Regional Qualifying Finals.[7]
