Nepal’s former national cricket team captain Sandeep Lamichhane was acquitted of rape charges by Patan High Court on Wednesday, May 15. The star cricketer was facing an eight-year imprisonment for a rape conviction on January 10, 2024, but was out on provisional release after his appeal to Nepal’s highest court.
The Cricket Association of Nepal is reportedly considering the spin all-rounder for the ICC T20 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies on June 1, 2024. Lamichhane remains the nation’s most successful cricketer with 210 wickets in just 102 white-ball international matches.
