"We are very grateful and honored that the Indian Embassy has given us an opportunity to establish this relationship more than handing over the kit, I believe it is the start of a better and bigger relationship that Nepal Cricket requires," Paras Khadka, the Secretary of Cricket Association of Nepal said while addressing the event.
Furthermore, Khadka, the former national team captain who is now the administrative member of the Nepal cricketing body requested further cooperation and coordination between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to further enhance the capacity of the Nepal team. Nepal's national cricket team captain Rohit Paudel also requested the Indian Embassy officials to facilitate further exposure to play or practice with the Indian team.
Rohit Paudel, the national side captain said, "I do not have to mention what BCCI means to world cricket, India is such a close neighbor, With the help of the embassy, we hope to get involved with the BCCI and of course Indian Government to help Nepal cricket. Since we have played Asia Cup with the Indian team our cricket has taken another turn."
"In cricketing terms, I would say, India is the best team right now. We as a cricket growing country believe that if we get an opportunity to play against them or they run the team, it would be a great exposure for all of us. I believe that you (the Indian Embassy) will help build that relationship with India. On behalf of the Nepali cricket team, I would like to thank the Indian Embassy for providing us with the kits," Paudel said addressing the event and seeking more exposure with the Indian team.
