Ahead of the T20 World Cup qualifiers last year, Nepal\u2019s men\u2019s team trained at the BCCI\u2019s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, with the initiative receiving support from the Indian government as part of efforts to strengthen sporting and youth exchanges between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>The BCCI is also weighing the possibility of extending India\u2019s tour of Sri Lanka in August.
