Sandeep Lamichhane Appointed Nepal Captain for ACC Men’s Premier Cup

Dragon Media Correspondent

Nepal national cricket team leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has been appointed captain for the upcoming ACC Men’s Premier Cup.

Lamichhane has been handed the leadership role in place of Rohit Paudel following a run of disappointing performances by Nepal in one-day cricket.

Lamichhane has previously served as captain of the national team and will now return to the leadership role for the regional tournament.

The ACC Men’s Premier Cup is scheduled to be held in Malaysia from August 30 to September 12, with Nepal set to compete against other teams from across Asia.

The change in captaincy is being seen as part of an effort to improve the national team’s recent performances. Lamichhane remains one of Nepal’s most experienced bowlers and has considerable international cricket experience.

The tournament will provide Nepal with an important opportunity to regain momentum and strengthen its competitive position in regional cricket.
