Nepalese cricket

You might remember that Nepal managed to beat both New Zealand and South Africa during the youth World Cup earlier this year. Well, those results might not have been such a fluke. The BBC has interviewed a young Nepalese player who is training with county side Surrey. Aamir Akhtar states that in Nepal crowds of 25-30,000 turn up just to watch sides like Malaysia, Singapore and the UAE and that junior cricket is booming in the country.
