After being cleared of rape charges, Nepal spinner Sandeep Lamichhane expressed optimism about his participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup in June. However, his hopes have been dashed due to the denial of a US visa, casting doubt on his presence in the tournament. Lamichhane took to social media to share the news, expressing disappointment and regret to his supporters. This is not the first time Lamichhane has faced visa issues, having previously been denied a US visa in 2019. Despite his acquittal and the positive outlook from the Nepal Cricket president, the visa denial remains a significant obstacle for Lamichhane’s participation in the prestigious event. Nepal’s T20 World Cup campaign begins on June 4, and Lamichhane’s absence would be a major blow to the team’s aspirations. Nepal will face the Netherlands, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in their group, with their final group game scheduled for June 17.
