Nepal, Bangladesh are not taking their two friendlies lightly

Nepal’s skipper Kiran Chemjong, in the pre-match conference on Friday, laments the inconsistency of the domestic league and the lack of a home ground. He also expects a memorable farewell to his friend and teammate Bharat Khawas.

Friday’s pre-match conference for the first of the two friendlies between Nepal and Bangladesh would have been different had Hamza Choudhury arrived in Kathmandu. There would have been more flashes from the cameras, and journalists would have more questions.
