Nepal women’s cricket team makes early exit from Global World Cup Qualifier

-

The women’s  national cricket team of Nepal’s run in the recently  concluded ICC Global World Cup Twenty20 Qualifier was short lived, following  three defeats and one victory  in Kathmandu recently. The home team’s dream of  a record  breaking performance to qualify  for the championship round in the annals  of Nepal cricket history proved futile. In retrospect, with two defeats and one win they faced Scotland in a must win game to make  it to the super sixes and  keep  their dream afloat in the tournament. After slumping to two straight defeats at the hands of Thailand and the Netherlands,they reignited hopes of a bounce back after recording their first  victory in the tournament . The six wicket win against Zimbabwe was impressive and achieved in the 20th over with three balls to spare.  Nepal’s  run chase materialized largely to Puja Mahato’s  brilliant  batting.She batted aggressively to score ...

    In retrospect,the year 2025 did not go down well for Nepal football on all fronts much to sports aficionadoes frustration  and disappointment. The  development of  football in terms of infrastructural and facilities enhancement, consolidation of grassroots and youth football remained static. In fact, the long-standing systemic issues that have not been resolved by the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) continue to hinder the football development process in a big way. On the field there was no significant headway made  especially by the men’s national teams across all age groups when it came to performance and delivering results.

I don’t  totally blame players for their mediocre performance and inability  to deliver results.The truth of the matter is that they made every effort to make a positive impac...
