24 players and coaches from all eight regions of Nepal were in Kathmandu this month for an ACC Level I coaching course. The course was led by ACC Development Officer Rumesh Ratnayake with the assistance of two local Level III coaches Jagat Tamatta and Binod Das. Among the aspirant coaches were national players Paras Khadka, Rahul Vishwakarma, Nary Thapa and Sobha Aale.

“This was a very strong group of coaches,” says Rumesh, “all of them were enthusiastic and competent and it looks like they’ll have a future in coaching which can only be good for Nepali cricket.” Following the end of the four-day course, Rumesh held afast-bowling camp, his second in Nepal.
