Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) announced a 14-member squad for the ACC U-16 Elite Cup scheduled here for March 8-16. The National Selection Committee headed by Arun Kumar Aryal picked up the squad from the players who were under closed camp training. Swichan Shah is the captain and Nischal Pandey to his deputy. Others in the team include Dipendra Chand, Jagadish Chand (I), Bibek Chaudhary, Hari Chaulagain, Sharad Khadka, Rajiv Kumar Shah, Devendra Somare, Satish Bhagat, Mayananda Chaudhary, Sanam Shrestha, Sushan Bhari Shrestha and Roshan Khatri.

Four players Rishav Rajbhandari, Jagadish Chand (II), Ram Krishna Jaiswal and Prajwol Katuwal were named as reserves.
ACC U-16 Elite Cup has been rescheduled after two teams pulled out for failing to meet the least provisions of the tournament. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar withdrew from the 10-team event after they failed to find three nationals in their team. As per the new Asian Cricket Council (ACC) rules, the teams must field at least three true nationals.
