Exclusive: Jan 28, 2015: Nepali people were already feeling excited with the unconfirmed news of Nepal playing Div 1 despite resulting at 4th position in the WCL div 2. Our coach Pubudu Dassanayake had first told media about the chances of team to play Div one, after returning back from Namibia. Now it is confirmed that Nepal will be playing along Kenya in the ICC World Cricket League (which is the official name for Div 1 league) that will happen from 2015 to 2017. CricketingNepal reports the confirmation of the news that is decided today by ICC meeting in Dubai. It is known that Nepal and Kenya will replace Afghanistan and Ireland for the WCL, as it is decided to select both Afghnistan and Ireland for ICC World Cup Cricket 2019. The Div one play means a lot to the Nepali cricket team, fans and benefits the country as a whole, as it not only enables more funds to the local cricket board but also provides more international games for the development of our players. Let there be a full fledged International level Stadium and we will be hosting big International games here. Nepali Cricket has taken a big leap. Thanks to Players, CAN, Media and mostly to the Man behind this major shot: Our coach Pubudu Dassanayake. Congratulations all Nepali.
