“I feel proud to make the name of Nepal known through my hard work.” – Sandeep Lamichhane

He said: “It is my good fortune to be included in the national cricket team at the age of 16. It was not something that could be earned by my little hard work. I have always moved forward with the desire to keep Nepal’s name high in the cricket world. I feel proud to make the name of Nepal known through my hard work.”

He also added: “I came to know about the complaint filed against me and the false accusation of rape. This has not only affected and damaged my mental health but physical health as well.” Speaking about his mental health, he said: “All these things affected me mentally on the one hand and, on the other hand, I had to go through physical illness. Therefore, I decided to keep myself in isolation for some time.” 

Sandeep also said that he is planning to return to his country to defend himself as soon as possible. “I have been mentally and physically affected by the portrayal of a criminal based on false allegations, I have been brought back to normal with the advice of doctors and my health is gradually improving and I am planning to return to Nepal as soon as possible to defend the false complaint against me.” Sandeep Lamichhane concluded.
