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.

“#CAN also appoint Sandeep Lamichhane as national captain; haven’t named his deputy. It also a nice closed-camp training of national team beginning December 21 in Pokhara,” said CAN in another tweet.
Lamichhane formerly captained the Nepal Under-19 side first in 2016 during the Asia Cup and then in 2017 for the Asian Cricket Council World Cup Qualifier.
Nepal Cricket Captain: His most recent captaincy experience came in the Everest Premier League, Nepal’s domestic T20 franchise tournament, where he led the Kathmandu Kings XI side this season.
