Nepal’s cricket landscape is buzzing with excitement as the newly formed Nepal ‘A’ team plays its inaugural match against Canada XI today. The three-match series, taking place at Mulpani Cricket Ground, will continue on February 20th and 22nd.
Spearheading the Nepal ‘A’ team is captain Binod Bhandari, supported by head coach Gyanendra Malla. The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has strategically selected a roster predominantly composed of young talent, featuring players who have impressed in the Prime Minister’s Cup and U-19 World Cup.
This initiative highlights CAN’s commitment to nurturing a strong pipeline of future cricketing stars. The ‘A’ team serves as a crucial stepping stone for players as they progress toward the national team and provides a platform for them to gain valuable international experience.
