Under-Secretary at Youth and Sports Ministry Ram Bahadur Hamal, Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) Member Sanjib Pandey, Cricket Chief-coach at NSC Jagat Tamata and Engineer at NSC Biswamitra Sanjyal are the member of the task-force. NSC has asked the task-force to submit its report on the preparation within a week.

Meanwhile, the meeting asked the CAN to furnish clarification within a week about the heavy fine slapped by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to it for not submitting financial report on time.
