KATHMANDU, JUN 23 -
Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) will appeal to the ICC not to scrap
the World Cup Qualifier and instead urge the world cricket governing
body to come out with more of similar programmes to help develop the
cricket among the associate nations, at its Anuual General Meeting
starting on Tuesday.
CAN President Tanka Angbuhang Limbu, before leaving for London on Sunday, told the Post, “We will urge ICC not to come under pressure from cricket giants and continue with programmes like the World Cup Qualifier which is very vital for the development of cricket for minnows like us.”
ICC has already announced that the World Cup Qualifier to be held in New Zealand in January will be the last one. The top two sides out of the 10 from the Qualifier will progress to the 2015 World Cup which will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
Limbu and General Secretary Ashok Nath Pyakuryal are attending the five-day meeting. CAN is also pushing for more support to construct infrastructure. “We have a lot more to do as far as infrastructure is concerned and we will try to attract ICC’s attention on this matter,” Limbu added.
Apart from submitting the financial report and CAN’s annual cricket calendar, Nepal will also attend the election to choose a new executive committee.
Limbu also revealed that he will request for a specialist batting and bowling coach to help Nepal prepare for the World Cup Qualifier.
