The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) have unveiled the squad and fixtures for The Core Camp, a preparatory intra-squad competition scheduled from April 26 to May 3, 2025. The matches will be played in a double round-robin format at the Upper and Lower Mulpani International Cricket Ground.

The camp will feature four teams — Nepal Red, Nepal Blue, Nepal Yellow, and Nepal Green — each comprising 13 players and will serve as a selection platform for Nepal team ahead of the upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 cycle against Scotland and Netherlands, to be hosted by Scotland from June 2 to 12.

Three new names have been added to the previously announced 49-player pool for the camp: U19 trio Yubraj Khatri, Naren Bhatta, and Santosh Yadav, all of whom impressed during Nepal's campaign at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Asia Qualifier.

The Core Camp will be overseen by newly appointed head coach Stuart Law, who is expected to arrive Nepal on April 25.
