KATHMANDU: Nepal said Sunday they had not given up hope on including controversial star Sandeep Lamichhane in their T20 World Cup squad, despite the spin bowler being denied a US visa and the deadline for final squads expiring.
The T20 World Cup begins next Saturday, co-hosted by the United States and West Indies, with Nepal´s first game on June 4 in Dallas. “We are lobbying the embassy through the Nepal government”, Chatur Bahadur Chand, president of Cricket Association of Nepal, told AFP on Sunday.
