Nepal have named an unchanged squad for the tri-nation one-day series beginning at Kirtipur next week, keeping faith with the group that won the last home series.
The decision means two uncapped batters who topped the domestic run charts this season will again have to wait, a call the head coach defended as continuity rather than caution.
The batting question
Nepal's top order has been the persistent weakness across recent tours, with the side too often rebuilding from a precarious position by the tenth over.
The captain acknowledged the pattern and said the batting group had spent the training block specifically on playing the new ball rather than surviving it.
Conditions at Kirtipur
The Kirtipur surface has historically favoured spin as matches progress, and Nepal have picked three frontline spinners accordingly.
Tickets for the opening fixture sold out within hours, continuing a run of full houses for home internationals.
