Sandeep Lamichhane is no doubt a great player and that's why he has played almost all top T20 leagues like IPL, BBL, PSL. It Nepal can have few more players like him they can easily reach the level of Afghanistan. Ireland made a strong debut in 2007 WC by beating Pakistan but since then there is not much news from there camp.
If the ICC provide Nepal with at least 5% of the funds they waste on Zimbabwe every year, then we will get more players like Sandeep Lamichhane. Nepal is a cricket crazy nation, but they lack adequate facilities and infrastructure. The second phase of qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup will start from July onward. A total of 8 nations are participating, and out of that 2 are guaranteed entry to the main tournament. Favorites are Netherlands and Zimbabwe, but given the recent performances I guess Papua New Guinea and the United States also have good chances of reaching the final.
