Good article on Nepal's leggie, his goals and cricket's changing landscape

While Nepal were awarded ODI status in March 2018, the prospect of them playing in a 50-over World Cup seems unimaginable in the near future. Such is the formatting of the T20 World Cup, that Nepal will have to go though two stages of qualifying to reach the group stage of the next edition in 2020. To see Lamichhane turn out in Test cricket is one for the dreamers.

And yet, the masses can still watch this insatiable talent, and the maligned destroyer of cricket – the greedy T20 leagues – are the ones to thank. Lamichhane shone in 2018. It began with him landing an IPL contract with the now oddly titled Delhi Capitals, before St Kitts and Nevis Patriots came calling in March.
