Nepal
Rohit Paudel has emerged as a key figure in Nepal’s cricketing setup. Calm under pressure, he leads by example with the bat and often anchors the innings when needed. His tactical acumen has helped Nepal stay composed in crunch moments.
Nepal’s batting lineup features explosive players like Kushal Bhurtel and Kushal Malla, capable of giving rapid starts. The middle order, supported by Paudel, Airee, and Gulsan Jha, adds stability and the ability to finish strongly. With several all-rounders in the side, Nepal has depth all the way down to number eight.
Nepal’s bowling arsenal blends variety with reliability. With Sompal Kami and Karan KC steaming in to lead the pace charge, their new-ball spells bring both aggression and know-how. Lalit Rajbanshi takes over in the middle overs, applying the brakes with tidy spin.
