Dasarath Rangasala’s playing surface is an embarrassment to Nepal

-

Dasarath Rangasala,the country’s oldest  stadium was back in the news for the same  wrong reason for the umpteenth time not too long ago. The stadium,the original venue for the recently concluded Men’s Under-20 South Asian Federation Football Championship(SAFFC)  had to be moved to the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) training  center  in SatDobato due to the pathetic playing  surface  at the last hour. It is common sense that playing conditions must be of the highest quality for professional football matches meeting international standards always. In no way the  pitch  should impede the quality of  play  and put players at risk of injury.The organizer of the competition is responsible to ensure the best playing conditions regardless. This is an ongoing issue that has not been addressed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, National Sports Council (NSC) and All Nepal Football Association ( ANFA),in spite of the scale and urgency  of the situation. This is flat out incompe

Contrary to high expectations,the men’s national  cricket team of Nepal's performance was sorely disappointing in the  recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup League 2  triangular series in Canada. They ended the series winless,much to our disbelief and chagrin. Incontrovertibly,they underperformed and made a total hash of things,squandering the chance to redeem themselves. It was a tale of struggle and a run of poor form throughout for Head Coach Monty Desai boys.Surprisingly they  were blown out  by  familiar oppositions  against whom they  have had success in the past.

The series was wide open and boiled down to  consistency,focus,discipline, playing to the potential and going that extra yard.  Home team Canada  got rewarded for their impressive and strong performance at the end. The Canadians  performed consistently, got their act together  and sustained the  early momentum

The  men’s national cricket team of Nepal’s losing streak and dreadful  form continues  in the ICC  Cricket World Cup League 2 in Canada. They crashed to a third straight defeat in another unimpressive and unconvincing performance at the hands of Canada. The Canadians flexed their muscles and dominated the proceedings in every department of the game. They combined  consistent batting and bowling,coupled with tidy  fielding to coast to a comfortable five wickets victory. This was Canada's third consecutive victory in the tournament.They  take on  Oman in the final match. The defeat is a big jolt for  Nepal. It was another disappointing outing  for the Rhinos as they failed to live up to their promise.   Going into the must  win fixture, Nepal  had to bat rock solid and amass a fighting total to put  themselves in the driver's seat in order to have a realistic chance to be in the winning column. Despite the need to put in a vastly improved batting performance,the
