Asia Cup 2023: Nepal's strongest predicted playing XI for the tournament
These players will make a perfect XI for Nepal in the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup.
5. Kushal Malla
Kushal Malla will strengthen Nepal’s middle order with his bat. While with the ball, he will provide support to the team’s spin department, along with Sandeep Lamichhane. Malla, who made his debut in ODI cricket in 2020, has got a chance to play 27 matches in three years.
As a batter, he has scored 626 runs with a century and four fifties in 27 matches. While in the bowling department, he has contributed 18 wickets to his side in 22 innings at an economy of 4.63. Malla was the top performer with the bat in the ACC Men’s Premier Cup, 2023. The 19-year-old hit 238 runs with a ton and a couple of fifties in four innings of five games.
However, he failed to be at his best in the ACC Men’s Emerging Cup, scoring only 19 runs in three matches. Serving the team with the ball, he struggled to be among the wickets. Malla will look to utilise his experience and talent to help Nepal to be impressive in their maiden Asia Cup edition.
