Sagar Dhakal and Kamal Singh Airee made a comeback in the T20 Squad. Both the players had made a comeback after performing brilliantly in the Nepal A vs Ireland A series.
Nepal continued to show faith in Kushal Bhurtel despite his struggling form but not with the balls. Bhurtel still looks good in form as a bowler but Bhurtel failed consistently as a batter in recent matches.
Kushal Malla may also trouble Nepal but he had shown earlier that just one big inning and he is back into the form but for now his form might be a tension for Nepali cricket fans.
Nepal relies heavily on its experienced premium pacers Karan KC and Sompal Kami but both bowlers had struggled with their bowling in the ACC Premier Cup in mid-April.
Sompal Kami become only player who will play for both the World Cup in Nepal Cricket History. He had played in 2014 under Paras Khadka and now under Rohit Paudel.
