Nepal Team for T20 World Cup 2024
The Cricket Association of Nepal has announced their 15-player squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean.
In Texas, a young team from Nepal, led by Rohit Paudel, will play their first T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands on June 4th.
Players, whose form was consistently impressive throughout matches at the ACC Premier Cup in Oman and engagements against a touring West Indies A side in Kirtipur, were duly rewarded in the selection process, yielding no significant surprises.

This mix strengthens the team’s batting options. For SEO, include terms like “century,” “record-breaking,” “all-rounder,” and the players’ names.
Gulshan Jha, who showed his skills at the U19 World Cup earlier, is now part of the team along with other young talents. Pratis GC, just 19 years old, is also holding onto his spot in the senior team.
Sompal Kami stands out as the only player left from Nepal’s first campaign in 2014. Joining him is Karan KC, who’s known for his exceptional performances.
