How sports could play an active role in restoring normalcy in Nepal

Sports has been seen not only as entertainment but also as a symbol of peace, recovery, and unity in difficult times.

When Nepal qualified for the 2014 T20 World Cup, the country was united in celebrating it. Where other sectors often failed to unite the nation—divided by politics, geography and ethnicity—under the same flag, the cricket field succeeded. It happened again last year when the men’s team qualified for the T20 World Cup after a decade.
