The ICC also nominated Bangladesh spinner Nasum Ahmed and American Jaskaran Malhotra for the Player of the Month award.

Excellent bowling performance in Oman tri-nation series had paved way for Sandeep’s nomination for the award.

In the series between Oman, the USA, and Nepal, Lamichhane took 18 wickets in six matches with a bowling economy of 7.38.

He also performed well in the matches with Papua New Guinea with bowling figures of 4/35 and 6/11.

Likewise, England captain Heather Knight was nominated for the Women’s Player of the Month.

In their second match of the trination series at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman, the Himalayan team incurred a crushing 5-wicket loss against the host nation.

Batting first, Nepal scored only 196 runs losing all its wickets in the allotted 50 overs. A brilliant knock of 90 runs by batsman Asif Sheik was in vain. He scored so in 112 balls with one six and seven fours.

Captain Gyanendra Malla (21 runs), Rohit Paudel (20 runs), and Karan KC (21 runs) tried to score big for Nepal but failed.

A 4-wicket haul by Oman’s Bilal Khan had set the stage for victory.

Chasing the meagre 197-runs target, the Oman team won the match in just 31.1 overs at the loss of 5 wickets.

Jatinder Singh’s mesmerizing century against Nepal gave Oman an emphatic 5-wicket win.

The ‘Player of the Match’ award winner mustered 107 runs in just 62 balls, which featured six 6s and twelve 4s.

Kushal Malla (2/38) and Karan KC (2/52) were the most impressive in an otherwise disappointing bowling effort.

With this defeat, Nepal remains in its sixth position in the table of seven teams. So far, Nepal played 6 matches in which it won 3 and lost 3.

On the other hand, Oman has fortified its top position with the win. Oman won 9 matches and lost 2.

Nepal will be facing the USA on September 17, 2020.

Its very shocking that the head coach has penned his resignation letter to the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) at the time when the national team is on a tour to Oman for the ICC World Cup League 2 qualifier tournament.

Whatmore would be relieved immediately from his post after the conclusion of the WC League 2 qualifier on September 19.

“I also wish to confirm you that this is a very tough decision I have to make after making the deepest of my thoughts on the same,” stated Whatmore in his resignation letter.

“Due to the ongoing pandemic, it is very difficult for me to stay away from my family for such a long time. This is entirely my personal decision and I truly enjoyed working with CAN and its players who are extremely cooperative with me throughout the entire tenure,” he added.

Dave Whatmore was selected as the head coach of the national team through open competition on December 17, 2020, for a contract period of one year.

Lately, Nepali cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane has launched a COVID-19 fundraising campaign by providing NPR 300,000 on his behalf.

Leg spinner Lamichhane initiated the campaign through Twitter with the hashtag “Team Sandeep Lamichhane.” In the tweet, he mentioned his bank account and appealed all to make contributions to the fund.

The side will be led by Pieter Seelaar, the veteran of 235 matches for the national side across all formats, whose left-arm spin has earned him 222 wickets, 61 of them in the T20 format. These days Seelaar is also a dangerous middle order batsman, his best in the shortest form an unbeaten 49-ball 96 in a losing cause against Scotland in 2019.

But he and Campbell will be hoping that his batting won’t be needed too often in Kathmandu, with a top-order which features Max O’Dowd (with an overall strike rate in T20s of 126.66), Tobias Visée (152.22), Ben Cooper (128.68) and wicketkeeper Scott Edwards (140.65).

Less experienced than these five but also capable of making quick runs are Tonny Staal (HCC) and Bas de Leede (Voorburg), both of whom will be keen to take their claim to a regular place in the side, and the same applies to teenage left-hander Vikram Singh (VRA Amsterdam), who has just a single cap so far but who will doubtless add more during this tournament.

De Leede is likely too to augment a pace attack which will be led by Paul van Meekeren and Viv Kingma, both genuinely quick and menacing, supported by Sebastiaan Braat (Hermes-DVS Schiedam), who has also shown himself to be a useful lower-order batter.

Apart from Seelaar himself, the squad’s spin options include the leg-breaks of Voorburg’s Philippe Boissevain, while there are two uncapped spinners in the side: HBS Craeyenhout’s Julian de Mey and Aryan Dutt (Voorburg). Dutt batted in the top five for his club last season, while De Mey’s batting has improved markedly recently.

The Netherlands lead Nepal 5-2 across their meetings in the T20 format, but Nepal have won the last two, a dead rubber in the last game of a four-match series in the Netherlands in 2015, and their encounter in the Desert T20 tournament in Oman in 2019.

The Dutch have never met Malaysia in a T20 International before, their only completed match in any format a 9-wicket victory in the 1994 ICC Trophy tournament in Nairobi.

A warm-up match before the 1997 tournament in Malaysia was rained off with the Netherlands well on top. Playing at 1300-metre elevation in Kathmandu will be a considerable test for both the

visiting sides, as will the passionate support they can expect for the Nepalese. With Malaysia sitting a division below the hosts in the ICC hierarchy and the Dutch fielding what is mostly a second string side, Nepal may well start as favorites.

But Campbell and Bilal Asad, his Malaysian counterpart, will be looking to their players literally to rise to the occasion and to demonstrate how effectively they can adapt on the international stage.
