Former Nepal cricket captain Sandeep Lamichhane faced a setback as he was denied a visa to enter the United States, preventing him from joining the Nepal squad for their upcoming T20 World Cup matches. The legspinner, who recently had his conviction for rape overturned, announced the news on social media, expressing his disappointment.
Lamichhane was expected to participate in the team’s warm-up fixture against Canada before their T20 World Cup Group D matches in the USA. However, his visa denial has raised doubts about his availability for the games in Dallas, Texas, Lauderhill, Florida, and St Vincent.
This is not the first time Lamichhane has encountered visa issues, as he had struggled to obtain a US visa in 2019 for the Caribbean Premier League. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his participation in the upcoming matches, fans are hopeful that the talented spinner will find a way to join his team on the field. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
