Kathmandu, February 23
The government has announced that it will give Rs 200,000 as prize money to each member of the Nepal cricket team for their sweeping victory in the recent tri-series involving Namibia and Scotland under the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2.
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal made the announcement on Thursday during his meeting with the team at his residence in Baluwatar.
