History

In January 2024, CAN proposed the formerly Men’s Elite Trophy, now known as the Jay Trophy, to introduce a multi-day format for the top teams from the Prime Minister Cup. [4] This initiative aims to provide a higher level of competition and further the development of cricket in Nepal. [5]

The Jay Trophy holds a unique position in Nepal’s cricket history, symbolizing the country’s passion for the sport and its commitment to nurturing players for the international stage. Named in honor of Mr. Jai Kumar Nath Shah, the first president of CAN, this tournament has been instrumental in promoting cricket since its inception in 1979. [6]

Tournament format

The Jay Trophy is contested in a multi-day format. The tournament featured a round-robin structure, played as two-day matches during the preliminary stage, with the top four teams from the Prime Minister Cup qualifying for the competition. The best two teams on the points table will compete in a three-day final. [7] [8]
