got ODI status in March 2018 since then Nepal played ONLY 6 ODI matches. Absolutely poor from ICC, ACC and everyone involved as CAN is suspended. We should have played at least 20-30 matches by now.

Why is not playing in Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales?

The answer is simple, we did NOT qualify. Nepal qualified for Global Qualifiers by Karan KC's heroic nail-biting thriller batting against Canada in WCL Div 2. In Global qualifiers in Zimbabwe, Nepal played 6 games, won 2, lost 4 and finished t 8th in tournament to gain first ever ODI status. West Indies and Afghanistan qualified for World Cup.
