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.
