The UAE tri-nation series, which will consist of six One Day International (ODI) matches, will include the national cricket teams of three different countries. The matches will begin on February 27, 2023, and continue until the sixth match of that year. The teams’ point totals from these games and series would enable them to advance and be eligible to compete in this year’s ICC Men’s World Cup qualifying. India will host the men’s world cup this year. Some teams are confirmed as normal, but some must compete in qualification games to secure a spot.
The matches will be held in the United Arab Emirates. The national team will be traveling to the UAE with Papua New Guinea when the tri-nation series in Nepal is finished. The teams’ dedication would help them to earn the necessary amount of points and, finally, a position in the highest rankings of international cricket. It is expected that these lesser teams would eventually grow and provide their players with the essential exposure to play on a higher level, even though other international teams are significantly more talented and skilled.
