Indu Barma has been appointed as the new captain of the Nepal national women’s cricket team. On Thursday, the Cricket Association of Nepal unveiled the 14-member squad for the Four-nation Women’s T20 Series where Indu was announced as the captain.
Former captain, Rubina Chhetri is also in the squad while Bindu Rawal has been elected as the new vice-captain of the team. Former vice-captain Sita Rana Magar is also in the squad.
According to Paras Khadka, the secretary of CAN, the selection committee and cricket manager proposed a leadership change, and the decision was finalized during the board meeting. “The decision is focused on the long term. While Rubina can continue to make valuable contributions as a player, we have opted to change leadership alone”, Khadka added.
