A
day of fair play finally. The biggest crisis in Nepali cricket ended today
after the Cricket Association of Nepal and disgruntled players agreed on
forming a separate body that will set the guidelines for the cricket governing
body.
A
decision by 16 members of the national team last week to boycott all the
national and international tournaments had led to a crisis situation. They have
been demanding that a new system be established in CAN and current committee be
ousted.

The
new body, named Planning and Monitoring Committee, is close to establishing a
new system in cricket which will also prepare plans and programmes, present
them to CAN and coordinate with it to implement them. CAN has also agreed on
giving a written commitment with deadline to fulfil all the demands.
The
PAMC will be headed by National Sports Council Member Secretary Yubaraj Lama
and will include coach Pubudu Dassanayake, national team skipper Paras Khadka
and with representatives from CAN and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The
agreement, which was reached today after six-hour talks in the presence of
Sports Secretary Shanti Ram Sharma and NSC officials, will pave the way for
cricketers to end their boycott.

The
cricketers, however, are yet to decide on their participation in the upcoming
ACC Premier League and ongoing national tournament. “First of all, we want all
our demands to be addressed in writing. The rest will be decided on how the new
committee works,” said skipper Khadka. “As players we have been given power to
look over the plans. We hope this will take cricket into a particular
direction. With the involvement of the government, we expect this is the only
thing that will work,” he said, admitting that ousting the incumbent committee
was not practical. “We just wanted to get rid of the system, but we did not
know that even the supreme power of the country is not able to wipe out an
elected body. So, we needed to be flexible and agreed on forming the PAMC,”
added the skipper.
Chatur
Bahadur Chand, vice-president of CAN and coordinator of CAN’s three-member
talks committee, said it was a wise decision to form the committee.
