Afghanistan rising as Nepal struggles
As Afghanistan batsmen were hitting big shots during their practice session at the TU Cricket Ground on Tuesday morning, their coach Dawlat Ahmadzai said they are in Kathmandu to defend the ACC Twenty20 title. “We are the champions and we´ll defend the title,” said a confident Ahmadzai.
Nepal in T20
Two years ago, Binod Bhandari scored a six off last ball, to win a T20 international for Nepal. That sensational match, against Kuwait, is the only proud moment for Nepal in T20 format. In the ACC T20 match played at Sheikh Jayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, Nepal could have avoided defeat only through that six off last ball. Binod lofted it atop cover boundary to tie the match. Nepal eventually won it in bowl-out.

Shah rejects appointment
Former President of Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) Jai Kumar Nath Shah has declined to accept his appointment as an advisor of CAN. In a letter sent to National Sports Council (NSC) member-secretary Yubaraj Lama on November 20, Shah wrote that he was offered a similar position in 2006 but he declined to ensure ‘open field for new board so that they can work freely’. “Thank you for your kind offer but my decision is irrevocable,” he wrote to Lama. NSC had appointed him as the advisor on November 18. Shah was president of CAN for more than 40 years before his committee was dissolved on September, 2006.

Shakti left out of ACC T20 Cup squad

Coach aims high for ACC T20
When Pubudu Dassanayake arrived in Kathmandu on September 29, he had a successful history of guiding Canada into ICC World Cup 2011 but he faced a similar challenge of taking charge of Nepali national cricket team as he was replacing Sri Lankan veteran Roy Luke Dias. Probably, realizing the challenges, the soft speaken Sri-Lanka born Canadian made a cautious comment about his target.
Is it Cricket?
These are difficult times to be a cricketer here. Mind you, under normal circumstances it would be busy times with a major championship not too far away (ACC T20 Cup gets underway in a fortnight). Cricketers in Nepal have always considered themselves unlucky. In the beginning days of cricket here, most could not play, given it was only within a reach of richer few. Hence most were unlucky. Till late 90s, Nepal had no participation at international level, so the players were said to be unlucky. When the cricket administration prospered and coffers did not show zero balance, the cricketers said they were unlucky as they did not receive anything out of it.
