Prabhakar’s appointment comes at a pivotal time in Nepal cricket. They have been struggling in international cricket of late, having missed out on qualification to the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, with Ireland and UAE making it from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier A tournament in Oman.
They are currently placed second from the bottom, with eight wins in 20 matches in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 table.
