The team has been run and governed by the Cricket Association for the Blind in Nepal (CAB NEP). Nepal blind cricket team made its first appearance in a Blind T20 World Cup tournament during the 2012 Blind T20 World Cup, becoming the first Nepalese team to participate in a blind cricket world cup, also featuring two female players. In the 2017 Blind T20 World Cup, Nepal cricket team managed to beat South Africa and New Zealand.
