Sandeep Lamichhane Comeback: Nepal’s star cricketer and accused of sexual abuse Sandeep Lamichhane has got an entry in the tri-series to be played under the Cricket World Cup League 2 in the UAE. He has been included in Nepal’s squad as a replacement for Mausom Dhakal. Mausom was injured during net practice. He has got shoulder injury.
Earlier, Sandeep Lamichhane was kept out of Nepal’s squad going to UAE. This is because Sandeep was not allowed to leave the country. Sandeep Lamichhane is accused of sexually abusing a minor girl. He is out on bail but according to law such accused are not allowed to leave the country.
However, Lamichhane had filed a petition in the Supreme Court to play in the tri-series in UAE and on February 27, he got permission from the court to go abroad. But since Nepal’s squad had already been announced, Lamichhane could become a part of the Nepali team only in the event of a player being out. Now when Mausom got injured, then Nepal Cricket asked ICC for approval to include Sandeep Lamichhane in the squad instead of Mausom, which they got. Lamichhane is now going to leave for UAE soon.
UAE and Papua New Guinea teams are included in this series to be held in Dubai. Nepal has also played one match in this series. In his first match, Nepal defeated Papua New Guinea.
