KATHMANDU (Nepal): Paras Khadka has stepped down as Nepal captain, announcing his decision on the social media on Tuesday.
The resignation comes a day after the International Cricket Council (ICC) restored Nepal’s membership by provisionally lifting a ban on Nepal Cricket Council (CAN).
“Great to know that the suspension of Nepal cricket has been lifted and would like to wish the new committee to work for the betterment of Nepal cricket, players and its stake holders,” wrote Khadka in his social media post.
However, CAN newly-elected chairperson Chatur Bahadur Chand and General Secretary Ashok Nath Pyakurel said they had no information of Khadka’s decision.
“There was no consultation. In fact I’m finding about it through media,” said Chand.
