Nepali Sports (Cricket) Awaits Investment !

Nowadays, the National Football Players are quite satisfied with their governing body as ANFA has brought lots of programmes to professionalize the football programs within Nepal. League Football match with grand prize worth Rs.75 Lakh (2069 B.S.) is not a small investment in Football. So Football is the only sports of Nepal which is getting lots of investment day and day. The only things the football is waiting for is the success in international games. Despite the huge investment, it has not succeeded to invite the news of international victories rather the FIFA ranking is degrading match by match. Let's hope the stability that is seen in football will now pave the path of perfection to get acme position in South Asian Football. 

TU Ground - ACC T20 Cup Nepal 2013

Let's go through Nepali Cricket which has brought lots of triumph nowadays. Recently held ACC T20 2013 has shown the craze of Nepali Cricket to all cricketing nation who can't even make such a huge crowd despite of their TEST PLAYING RANK. Massive crowd of 25000+ have proved the potential of Nepali Cricket. Despite all these things, there is not a single Cricket Ground with minimum requirements viz. Pavilion, Media House, etc. Even there is not a place for viewers to catch the event live from the Ground. The Picture alongside is the view of ACC T20 Cup 2013 where there were 20,000+ cricket lovers to catch the event live on the ground. The TU Ground which is marked as the top Cricket Pitch of Asia, even don't have minimum infrastructure of Stadium. It is shameful to address that the ticket management team even couldn't provide ticket access to all the people arriving on the ground due to which thousands of people have watched this match for free. It has disclosed many problems within the Cricket Governing Body, CAN (Cricket Association of Nepal). 

CAN need to exercise much to become the responsible government body of Cricket. Till now it is only the official banner of Nepali Cricket. Beside that it has shown it's zero significance in any of the activities. It is capable of making big matches within the country as ANFA does but capacity has remained only the subject of dream rather than reality. 

On getting the substantial investment, Nepali Cricket is sure to drive the nation towards new height among the world as The Power House of Cricket. The regular victories made by national team in international matches with higher ranked countries is the best allusion which shows the potentiality of Nepali Cricket to grab the acme success in the very near future. Right now the nation is moving ahead to grab the position in World Cup - 2015 which is the dream of all Nepali. This dream is not a hard nut to crack, it can be simplified if mega-investment triggers on Cricket. 

It is very sad to address that CAN couldn't afford Afghanistan Team for 5 ODI Practice match after the completion of ACC T20 with Nepali National Team. If CAN was able to do this, then it could be a great capsule for Nepali Cricket to eradicate the faults. Here also the investment plays the role. If there was some helping hands, then affording AFG (ODI Ranked) is not a big work. 

So every time, lack of investment is making the path of Nepali Cricket a bit complex. If this scenario gets continuity then upliftling the Cricket only by the work of Cricketer could be of great difficulty because investment in infrastructure builds the foundation for new comers and builds the current team. So, all the big entrepreneurs and mega-investor must once focus towards Cricket not only for their business but also for to make new indentity of Nepal.  

Mehboob Alam :: Nepali Cricket Legend

A Guiness Book Record holder for being first bowler to take whole 10 wickets in an inning of ODI against Mozambique is Mehboob Alam. The one and only all rounder figure of Nepali Cricket who has unbreakable record of 256 not out runs in a domestic tournament. He is the synonym of Nepali Cricket. Nepali Cricket lovers always remember the name of Alam when someone talks about Nepali Cricket. The main topic of Nepali Cricket is Alam for his non-breakable world record of 10 wickets in an inning. Not only this he has a big influence in domestic supporters as well as supporters from Indian groups. 

Alam has also played respectable tournaments from the Indian club after when he was omitted from the National Squad. His omission from the national club has brought the wave in Nepali Sports scenario. Sometime when Nepal looses the easy matches with huge score difference then the deficiency of Alam is pronounced in every groups of Nepali Cricket. He is one of the successful all rounder has very significant bowling and batting caliber. His ability to swing the bowl has made him outstanding. 

Wherever he goes, there is find the queue of lovers. Really, he is the most favored cricketer although is presently not in National Squad. He is really missed. We wish for his Come Back on Nepali National Cricket. Hope he will soon quench the thirst of runs and wickets for Nepal........will drive the Nepali to the climax of International Cricket !!!

We have collected some important galleries of Mehbood from Google. Here are some of them.... Enjoy !

Due to the fixture rearrangement, Nepal will play the first match of U-19 Asia Cup 2012 with Pakistan though according to the initial one, it was against India. Anyway the match against the Pakistan is as tough as with that of India as these two countries are equally powered by cricket. 


On the Nepal's first match of U-19 Asia cup 2012 Nepal is facing the strong opponent Pakistan. Pakistan has been the cricket power of the world that seems to be challenging for Nepali Squad to pace ahead.

Nepal Qualifies for ICC U-19 World Cup @ Australia - 2012

On a day when rains affected all but one game, plenty of action was witnessed as the jostling for the final six spots to qualify for the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup to be held next year in Australia heated up.

Hosts Ireland featured in another last over finish, this time against Nepal at the Bready Cricket Club. Nepal batted first and was restricted to 187 for seven in 46 overs as rains forced reduction in the number of overs. Ireland skipper George Dockrell picked up 3-15 even as Sagar Pun made 50 off 100 balls with three boundaries and a six.

Boundary :: 4 (Nepal)

In the chase, the home team lost early wickets, but Dockrell (55: 86b, 3×4) and Adam Coughlan (48:86b, 1×4) added 107 runs for the fifth wicket.

Once the partnership was broken, the chase fell apart. Nepal’s left-arm spinner Rahul Vishvakarma picked up four wickets in the final over to bowl out Ireland for 175 and earned his side a 10-run win.

Dockrell’s all-round effort earned him the Man of the Match award, but the skipper was a disappointed man: “We bowled well to restrict them, but they got a few runs towards the end which helped them a lot. The match was in the balance and we seemed to be getting close. But we lost wickets towards the end. We still have two more games to end the tournament well.”
