Sports unite

The Nepal Premiere League has shown how youth can be positively motivated.

The Irish cricketer-turned-commentator and a big promoter of Nepali cricket, Andrew Leonard, recently opined that the biggest asset of Nepali cricket is its passionate fan base. In addition, the new and only woman member of the commentary team for the Nepal Premier League season 2 (NPL), Jess Crowe —a renowned Australian media personality—highlighted the unique mindset and passion of Nepali cricket supporters. During a match report, Crowe conveyed that she had covered cricket matches in many countries but had never witnessed such a fervent fan base as in Nepal. She mentioned that Nepali fans are true admirers of the game—united by the game rather than divided by team allegiance. Every run scored and every wicket taken in the Tribhuvan University (TU) Cricket Ground is celebrated by the whole crowd. Whoever wins, the crowd ardently enjoys the beautiful game of cricket.
