The     ongoing World Cup cricket co-hosted by Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka    has eclipsed     every sporting headline in the Indian sub-continent lately. It    shall remain so until the tournament is history. Nepal’s    recent      participation       in    the ACC     Boys U-19 Elite Cup in Thailand    and the ACC    Women’s Twenty-20 in Kuwait went by almost unnoticed on the wake of World Cup frenzy. These were two important tournaments     in which we expected to do       well. Although we fell short of winning the ultimate prize it was a decent showing, by and large, in my opinion. Evidently our cricketers    failed to show     fortitude, rise to the occasion and lacked clinical finish when it mattered most, and they had to a heavy price eventually. Without a doubt these are    shortcomings     that can be taken care of     provided    there    is honest and serious    effort    to address it on part of the responsible party. That sai

Without a doubt    star –studded Three Star    Club has    established itself as the number one football outfit in the country.

Apparently    the rivalry between the two clubs is growing by the

Like any cricket playing   nation Nepal is  gripped  by   ICC Cricket  World Cup  fever now in progress in  Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka. Cricket     aficionados   across the Himalayan kingdom from bustling cities to sleepy villages   have been   literally consumed by the World Cup madness. Such is the craze for the game that people of all walks of life are  virtually  glued to their television sets  around the clock. Evidently they  do not  want to miss a bit of the high voltage  spectacle. Undaunted by the regular and frustrating power outage they have made their own arrangements   to   watch   live  telecast  of  the tournament in  its entirety.   Cricket no doubt is   toast of the country at the moment. The coverage  of the  competition  by the  media   both  print and electronic is  not only prominent  but huge. Over the years cricket has become increasingly popular in South Asia and beyond, and we have witnessed a   dramatic   spike
