Kathmandu, October 12
Cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane has pulled out from the T20I Triangular Series against UAE and Hong Kong.
The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has arranged a triangular series featuring Nepal, UAE, and Hong Kong from October 18 to October 27 as a preparatory event for the T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers that is being held in Nepal from October 29.
Lamichhane has decided not to participate in the competition. Stating he is going through a lot emotionally, he wrote on social media that he will not be a part of the team for the tournament.
He said he pulled out as he wanted to take time for himself.
A court case against Lamichhane is pending at Kathmandu District Court. Lamichhane has been accused of raping a minor and is currently out on bail.
