Nepal ok but why Afg? Afg is a test team now. A test team doesn't play in another test teams FC cricket.

I hope England stops Ireland playing in their FC structure
 
Their mystery spinner Sandeep is playing in IPL.

From the OP Picture, they seem to have a Hitman of their own. A Nepalese Rohit.

Playing International matches with Afg and Nepal would not yield anything monetary wise as well as gauging the true potential of a Youngster.

But some talented players from Afg and Nepal can play in Indian domestic circuit and gain valuable experience.

Congrats! Are there any Nepalese in the forum?

I guess not but there are huge number of Cricket Crazy fanatics from Nepal on FB who follow ball by ball coverage of all matches of their team in Intercontinental Cups.

I wonder if Nepal will get the opportunity to play any Odis against Top teams or participate in Asia Cup? I hope ODI Status doesn't mean only playing against sides like Scotland and Netherlands.

individual players growth doesn’t guarantee team’s success..they as a team should play more and more matches with teams like India(minus kohli, dhoni, bhuvi etc), afghan..
 
Pak should try to help CAN by arranging bilaterals and build good relationship with them as PCB have lost good relations with 3 (ind,bd,afg) out of 4 Asian neighbors.
 
Good luck to brothers from Nepal, hope they improve in next 4 years and attain Test status like Afgan.

Long may continue power of Asia in World Cricket :srini

:aag
 
Jai Shri Ram, always a pleasure to see more brothers joining our sport. God bless them. :sachin
 
Paras Khadka on Nepal's journey to ODI cricket

Nepal captain Paras Khadka details the team's triumphant and magnificent route to ODI status.

This has been such a long, amazing journey for Nepal cricket but playing our first ever One-Day Internationals against the Netherlands is only the beginning.

We have always wanted to get to this point but the challenge is to keep on growing. Eight years ago we were playing in ICC World Cricket League Division Five and now we are among the top 16 nations in the world, with ODI status guaranteed for the next four years.

I hope we can keep this going and continue to grow because our next goal is to become a Test-playing country. We have worked hard for ODI status and the games against the Netherlands are opportunities for us to explore ourselves, enjoy the experience and hopefully put up good performances.

It is amazing to think back to how far we have come. Speaking personally, I started playing the game very young at school in Kathmandu. I played all the time – football in the rainy season and cricket the rest of the time.

I didn’t have particular cricket heroes but I did love watching the great Australian teams of a few years back.

I never dreamed at that stage that I could play for my country but destiny had other things in mind! It was only when I was selected at under-15 level that things started to change.

Then we played at the ICC Under-19 World Cup – beating South Africa twice, New Zealand and Zimbabwe – and have played against some of the best players around from the other nations.

One of the happiest days since then was the day – 27 November 2013 – when we beat Hong Kong off the last ball to qualify for the 2014 ICC World T20 in Bangladesh.

I remember feeling very nervous. You have dreamed all these years and then it’s there in front of you. Three and a half hours away. You can make the biggest step in your cricket careers. It did take a lot out of us. We played some of our best cricket during those three matches at the ICC World T20, against Hong Kong again, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

Then this year qualifying from ICC World Cricket League Division Two in Namibia and making it to the ICC World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe was another special moment. Those are the high points. This year has been so important for my generation of cricketers because we have worked so hard to get to this point.

We have a fantastic team spirit – that has definitely been a big plus point for us. We fight for every run and every wicket. All of us have been very honest and hard-working and maybe someone out there is looking after us!

We also have an amazing fan following wherever we go. Nepalese people who have settled in other parts of the world come out in big numbers to support us – we are very blessed. They really boost us up.

We really noticed that support when we played at Lord’s for the first time in 2016. I woke up the next morning and thought to myself, ‘Did we actually just play at Lord’s?’ To be in a dressing room where every great in the game has been was an amazing experience. We were so glad we could repeat it again this week in a T20 tri-series with MCC and Netherlands.

We are already looking ahead to the qualifying stages for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. This is a wonderful opportunity. The government in Nepal are looking to help us grow and hopefully, we will have a fully functioning cricket board soon as well. If we can get all the resources together then hopefully we will have good days ahead for Nepal cricket.

I’ve been playing for 15 years and I never thought I’d get this far. But there will come a time when it is enough – it might be in six months or six years. But for now, I want to contribute as much as possible and keep pushing myself. It all comes down to setting standards and taking it from there.

As captain, it has been a fabulous journey and I hope it will continue. The most important thing is to keep performing and to help the team grow.

Eagerly awaiting Pakistan to play Nepal in a 5 ODI series with a full strength team to elevate their minnow bashing status.
 
Nepal have won their first ever ODI,in just their second game,against Netherlands today.

That too by just one run!
 
Not only the fielder managed to save the 6 runs but he also managed to inflict a run-out. Brilliant effort from a Nepalese player.

Nepal Cricketer's Effort To Convert Certain Six Into Run-Out Wins Internet

Nepal defeated Netherlands by six wickets in the fifth match of the ongoing Tri-Series, which also features Namibia. Asked to bowl first, Nepal bundled out Netherlands for 120 with Pratis GC scalping three wickets. Later, Nepal chased down the target in 15.2 overs with six wickets in hands. Apart from this low-scoring affair, a stunning fielding effort from Kushal Bhurtel to dismiss Vivan Kingma, grabbed everyone's attention. The incident took place in the 19th over of Netherlands' innings.

Roelof van der Merwe played a shot towards the long-on, on a full-toss delivery by Dipender Singh Airee. The shot looked like a comfortable six but Bhurtel showed his fielding prowess and jumped to stop the ball from going across the boundary line.

As the ball fell down, Bhrutel got up and threw it towards wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh, who found that Kingma was way out of the crease in search of a double. Aasif made no mistake and dislodged the stumps as Kingma got run out for 4.

With this dismissal, Netherlands' got bundled for 120 in 19.3 overs.

Coming to the match, Max ODowd was the highest run-scorer for Netherlands with 31 as no other batter was able to go past the 30-run mark.

For Nepal, skipper Rohit Paudel scored 46 while Gulsan Jha scored 38 as their side comfortably chased down the target in just 15.2 overs.

Currently, Netherlands are at the top of the points table with two victories in three matches while Nepal is at the second place with two wins in four matches.
