The governing body sanctioned the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) in April for supposed Governmental interference.

This came after Nepal's National Sports Council formed a Committee to run the governing body, following a dispute over Presidential elections involving two rival candidates, Chatur Bahadur Chand and Tanka Angbuhang.

The ICC's chief executive David Richardson led the delegation alongside ICC Chairman of Associates Imran Khwaja, and they were hosted by Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal in capital city Kathmandu.

A "road-map" for reinstating Nepal's membership was discussed, with the focus of the meeting improved governance in the country.

An advisory group will now be formed, including various cricket stakeholders in Nepal, with an initial mandate to re-write the constitution of the CAN.

Elections will then be conducted as per the revised constitution.

"The meeting with the Honorable Prime Minister was very encouraging," said Richardson.

"Nepal is an important member with huge potential. 

"It is important for us to work out a road-map for its reinstatement."

Nepal has established itself as one of the top non-Test playing nations in world cricket and qualified for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh in 2014.

They won two matches against Hong Kong and Afghanistan but did not progress from the initial group stage.

In July, the country travelled to the home of cricket at Lord's in London, and beat an Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) side by 41 runs.

"I’m confident everything will be worked out smoothly and the country’s cricket will benefit immensely in the coming years," Khwaja said.

The ICC Board will be provided with a status update report on Nepal at its October meetings in Cape Town in South Africa.
