There is a lot of enthusiasm surrounding the impending competition, as the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to start in just one month. Nepal was the most recent team to announce their roster for the competition on Wednesday, after the majority of teams.
With their inherent flair and potential, Nepal has emerged as one of the top up-and-coming teams in recent times. Particularly, Dipendra Singh Airee has made a reputation for himself in the game’s shortest format by showcasing his big-hitting abilities with the bat. Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands are all in Group D this year. The Netherlands and Nepal will seek to establish their worth in addition to the three hot favourites—South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
Over the past few years, the Nepali team has improved to become a formidable force in cricket thanks to their outstanding play. With players like Kushal Malla and Kushal Bhurtel expected to support the Nepali top order, youthful captain Rohit Paudel will be heading the team.
The world will witness Aasif Sheikh, a leading talent, as he displays his skills as a batter and wicketkeeper by batting in the top order. With the ball in hand, Dipendra Singh Airee has proven himself to be a talented and hard-hitting hitter, and all eyes will be on him. Karan KC, an accomplished pacer with a respectable bowling average, will be leading the bowling attack. The other important bowlers for Nepal in the T20 World Cup 2024 will be Pratis GC, Sagar Dhakal, and Kamal Singh Airee.
