Roy Dias, the current coach of Nepali cricket team, has given some insights on the future of cricket in Nepal. He certainly has contributed a lot to Nepali cricket.

Contrary to Mr. Dias's opinion on popularity, I believe cricket is already at par or even above football in Nepal. Success inspires, and the Nepali football team has no credentials to match their cricket counterparts. Best of luck to the boys, and the taekwondo girl, in their future endeavors. We have not had much to cheer about since the days of Nepali domination in elephant polo!

Binay ji ani SaveEarth ji,


Roy dias has some negatives to tell. I understand that he was nothing but one Sri-lankan with one test under his belt.

You ask me what he wants to do for us. I would tell you that it is nothing more than what that German coach training our football team wanted to do, few umpteen years ago. I don't recall the name.

SL and us have a common thread. And that is Buddism. Besides we have our Himalaya to show around hai na ra? Ask me what we want? We want no mercy, but we want to deserve what we already have. Kasooooooooooo?

You ask me what we have. I know we have plentiful. Maybe Tendulkars in our country. But do we need to ask Roy Dias for em? Probably not?

cheers!
