Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) scrapped the Nepal T20 League which was launched in 2022, because of corruption and match-fixing charges. So now, they’ve revamped and started the Nepal Premier League, which features 8 franchise teams with several national and international players, with the first edition being launched in Nov 2024.
The Nepal Premier League 2024 squads list was announced prior to the event beginning itself, with some of the teams being able to sign iconic international T20 cricketers. Among them are Shikhar Dhawan, Martin Guptill, James Neesham, Kane Williamson, Kyle Jamieson, Shai Hope, Naseem Shah, and more. See below for our complete Nepal Premier League squads list.
