Kathmandu (Hamro Khelkud) – Opener Anil Shah and middle-order batter Dev Khanal have earned their spots in the Nepal squad for the upcoming ICC League-2 triangular series set to begin on Thursday.
Nepal have made two changes to the initial 15-member squad following their standout performances in the ODI series against Canada. Anil and Dev have been included, while Rijan Dhakal and Arjun Saud have been omitted from the previously announced lineup.
All-rounder Dipendra Singh Airee, Karan KC, and Gulshan Jha, who took a break in the Canada series, have returned to the team. Dipendra is currently playing for Gulf Giants in the ongoing ILT20 in UAE, so he will miss the first game.
