Departmental team Nepal Army (NA) is all set to contest at the National T20 Cricket League, starts from Ashoj 10, 2070. NA recruited eight national players and six regional players along with few players within Army, to make strong presence at 11-team competition. Selected national players are Binod Bhandari, Sagar Pun, Avinash Karna, Rahul BK, Naresh Budhayer, Chandra Sawad, Anil Mandal and Pradeep Airee. Regional players, Indra Kamal Manandhar, Rupesh Shrivastav, Bijay Gautam, Rajesh Pulami, Prabin Joshi and Rabin Joshi, used to play for Region no 3, Kathmandu.
NA team is under the coach Arun Satyal and about play for the first in national league. Two years ago, Nepal Police (NP) also formed the team to play the national league. NP won the T20 League in its first appearance defeating APF and advanced to the final of 50 over national cricket league, where they lost against APF. However, NP fails to continue the team and participation due to focus on other sports. Binod Bhandari, Chandra Sawad, Naresh Budhayer and Pradeep Airee played for Nepal Police Team as well. Formation of NA team means dominance of Armed Police Force (APF) led by National cricket team's captain Paras Khadka is under threat and expected to have great match between these two departmental teams.
