Nepal’s top cricket players are set to play in the first-ever EU T20 Belgium League. The new franchise tournament will take place in Europe this summer. Nepali players have registered for the league, which gives them a chance to play with international stars and gain global exposure.
The EU T20 Belgium League is Belgium’s first franchise T20 tournament. It will be held from May 30 to June 7, 2026. The league has six city-based teams, including Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, and more. Players were registered from December 26, 2025, and the league already has many big names from around the world.
Nepali players have joined this league at an important time. Nepal recently announced its squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Playing in Europe will help these players improve their skills before the World Cup. It will also show that Nepal is growing stronger in international cricket.
Which Nepali Players Are Registered?
Some top Nepali players have already registered for the league. Dipendra Singh Airee, known for his strong hitting and off-spin, is one of the main names. Sandeep Lamichhane, Nepal’s most famous spinner, has also registered. Lalit Narayan Rajbanshi and captain Rohit Kumar Paudel are also part of the list.
There are reports that more Nepali players could join soon. Names like Kushal Bhurtel, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, and Karan KC are likely to register. If more players join, Nepal could have a big presence in the league.
Why This League Matters for Nepal Cricket
This league is a big opportunity for Nepal cricket. Playing with international stars can help Nepali players learn new skills. It can also attract scouts from bigger leagues like IPL or BBL. The league can also help Nepal earn more money through contracts and sponsorships.
Nepal’s participation shows that the country is becoming stronger in cricket. It also increases the global fanbase of Nepal cricket. Many fans are already excited and sharing their support on social media.
What Comes Next?
The player draft will happen soon, and final teams will be announced later. Fans are waiting to see which Nepali players will get selected in the final squads. This league could become a major platform for Nepal before the T20 World Cup.
