Nepal one of the non test playing country which have done well in the Under 19 in asian region  as well as under 19 world cup having been chosen as plate champion and had very good history of beating some test playing nation like Bangladesh , Newzland and south Africa.

Before leaving for Bangladesh In an interview with Cricket Nepal, Prithu said the team’s aim to gain the lost glory by qualifying to the Youth World Cup. In Bangladesh Nepal loses all three matches against host Bangladesh that had taken place in Sylhet. First two match were 50 overs and lat was the 20-20 match. In first match Nepal failed against Bangladesh with the deafeat of ten wicket while in second match Nepal again lost with 145 runs. Nepal U-19 cricket team ended the Bangladesh tour with a 68-run loss in the one-off Twenty20 match against Bangladesh U-19 at Sylhet on Saturday.Though they had lost against strong Bangladesh they had learned lot from the practice match. So coach and captain are still hopeful  to win the champions ship and select for world cup. “We have learned a lot from here. We got an opportunity to face a tough spinner and came to know that we have to improve a lot in batting,” said  jagat Tamata who have been appointed as a coach after Nepal said good bye to the srilankan coach Roy dias.
