It is well known that Nepalese cricket is on the rise one way or the other. This time its not the men who brought the glory home.
Nepalese U-19 women cricket team led by Neri Thapa, have come home undefeated along with the ACC U-19 women championship.This not only proves the potentiality of cricket within Nepal but also shows the popularity of the sport in the Nation.
Cricket in Nepal is played by the natives themselves rather than country like UAE,USA ...etc.This means a developed infrastructure, proper domestic league and security to the players shall surely increase the professionalism and competency of Nepalese cricket.
Developing Nepal as a neutral venue for series including multiple ODI nations shall give opportunity for Nepales team to gather experience by playing practice match against these countries.Similarly CAN would get enough revenue..from the broadcasters and the tickets(if the grounds are developed into proper stadiums) so as to carry out much needed reform in the cricketing sector.
Similary CAN should also look for the opportunity to invite competitive cricket clubs to play friendly match with Nepal.Maybe they are the Ranji teams of India or the county clubs of England.
In the time when Test audiences are declining Nepalese cricket fan keenly observe even the 3 day matches both on TV(the qualitty of broadcast is pity compared to International standards) and in the ground itself.And now the rise of women cricket team of Nepal proves the point that Nepal is certainly is going in the right direction.It is upto the ACC and ICC to understand this potentiality and provide Nepal adequate support to reach the highest level
