Mausam Dhakal: 21-year-old cricket star is here to fill Nepal’s spin bowling gap

Before the Prime Minister’s Cup national one-day cricket tournament, Mausam Dhakal was not a name people heard. The 21-year-old leg spinner, who is under contract for the departmental team Armed Police Force (APF) Club, has managed to attract the attention of many after being declared the emerging player of the tournament.

In the match, Dhakal who hails from Bhalwari of Rupandehi, took wickets in five out of six matches played by the champion team. His feat includes the crucial three wickets of the Tribhuvan Army Club in the final.
