Rohit Paudel, Nepal’s star batsman, will lead a familiar squad at the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. The 15-man squad includes experienced players like Aasif Sheikh, Anil Kumar Sah, Kushal Bhurtel, and Kushal Malla.
Nepal’s preparations for the World Cup have been mixed. They won the first game of their T20 series against West Indies A by four wickets, thanks to Paudel’s brilliant 112. However, they lost the next two games by 10 runs and 76 runs, respectively.
Despite the recent setbacks, Nepal remains confident heading into the World Cup. They have a talented squad with a good mix of experience and youth. Paudel, who is in excellent form, will be the key player for Nepal. He is a destructive batsman who can score runs quickly.
Other players to watch out for include Aasif Sheikh, who is a reliable opener, and Kushal Bhurtel, who is a talented all-rounder. Nepal also has a strong bowling attack, led by Sompal Kami and Karan KC.
Nepal is placed in Group D of the World Cup, along with Bangladesh, Netherlands, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. They will start their campaign on June 4 against Netherlands in Dallas.
Nepal will be hoping to make a mark at the World Cup. They have the potential to upset some of the bigger teams and reach the knockout stages.
