Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has revised the fixture for the ACC U-17 Elite Cup cricket tournament after Saudi Arabia pulled out of the event on Thursday.

Talking to Roy Dias before a tournament is monotonous – because he always has similar things to say. Some of his permanent phrases include ‘we could have more training’, ‘we are not looking at the final, we will take it match by match’ and ‘our opponents are tough’. This time also, he was not much different. But, yes, he was a little different on a topic. “My gut feeling is that this side is good,” the 56–year-old Sri Lankan said after a training session at the TU Cricket Ground. “I will be very disappointed if we don’t win the tournament.”

Prithu Baskota will lead the Nepal Under-17 national team in the upcoming ACC U-17 Elite Cup cricket tournament this February in Kathmandu, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) said on Monday.
