Former West Indies captain and cricket legend Brian Lara is set to visit Nepal as part of his association with the ongoing Nepal Premier League (NPL). The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), the organizer of the league, has officially confirmed this visit, making it a landmark moment for cricket fans in the country. Lara, known globally for his record-breaking achievements, will attend NPL matches and possibly other cricketing engagements during his time in Nepal.
Although specific details regarding the exact schedule and duration of his stay remain undisclosed, Lara’s presence is expected to elevate the profile of Nepalese cricket significantly. This marks his first visit to the country, adding him to the prestigious list of cricketing icons like Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni, who have visited Nepal previously.
Lara, often referred to as the “Prince of Port of Spain,” holds remarkable records, including the highest individual score in Test cricket (400 not out) and in first-class cricket (501 not out). His illustrious career is celebrated for elegant and impactful performances that redefined batting standards globally.
The NPL, in its inaugural season, has already garnered international attention by hosting a mix of domestic and international cricketing talent. The presence of a legend like Lara is expected to inspire young Nepalese players and draw further global interest in the league. The visit also highlights the growing reputation of Nepal as a cricketing nation with a passionate fanbase.
