This is a systematic issue. We have the old generation (doesn't mean old people, just having the old mentality) occupying various positions in Nepal without having any qualification for the position. People without any knowledge of management and Cricket should NOT be in CAN. Cricket has proven to be a very important sports for Nepal, it has brought us together unlike any other subject. It is high time we give a little more focus and importance to our sports. It's also time to cut our expenses in staffs overload (paying for their visit to Olympics etc) and focus on the players themselves. Paras has gotten all the fame and I doubt that he desperately needs the meager salary; despite all that he has stepped up to be a good leader. If this is not a priority for the ministry of Sports, then what is? If there's a FB page dedicated to support this endeavor, sign me up as well. Maybe we can start an online petition to show our solidarity and support for the team? This is everybody's issue, not just the cricketers. If this is hushed down, cricket or any other sport, will never flourish in Nepal.

daum, before you post such title, may be you should learn how cricket has been played in Nepal first. These cricketers kept their future in line when they stuck to this team even in dire situations. They have to look for source of income elsewhere regularly. So, they either open their academy, become sports teacher in school or whatever. Now they aren't even paid what they have earned which is against the labor law. A player isn't paid for injury he incurred while playing for his country. And still the players are performing and playing. This political appointment in CAN has been worse for cricket development. They don't have vision. We all depend on ICC/ACC fixtures for tournaments when we should be inviting and playing against Afghanistan, UAE, Ireland etc. Have you even seen CAN's calendar ? CAN even doesn't have a calendar ! Where is the Mulpani ground ? Look at the situation of TU Ground. You must have heard the embezzlement about the grant provided by ICC. Did you know this batch of cricket team, Basanta, Paras, Gyanendra and Sharad were the most elite group in under age group and kept playing for the country though their counterparts left the country. And mind you those who left were equally talented. Had they stayed, imagine where we would have been now. Or, for now, just appreciate what these cricketers have done and show the solidarity towards them rather than posting such BS title.
