Nepal Cricket Captain: Nepal leg spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has been appointed as the captain of the Nepal cricket team and has replaced Gyanendra Malla.

Malla has been removed along with Nepal’s vice-captain DS Airee because of an ongoing contractual dispute with the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN). “Cricket Association of Nepal axe captain Gyanendra Malla & vice-captain DS Airee depriving them of the 6-month central contract along with Sompal Kami & KS Airee as disciplinary action for critical public statement that #CAN claim is against players’ code of ethics,” tweeted CAN.
