Cricket is becoming more popular in more nations, which shows how deep and broad its appeal is. Several regions have reported seeing instances of intense drama and tension caused by the game.

This was most obvious last week in Nepal, which many people do not often think of as a cricket-playing country.

The game was a specialized pastime that was only played in Kathmandu before the 1980s. Early in the 1990s, a significant development program was implemented, which increased playing opportunities and infrastructure. As a result, the Nepal men's team participated in its first international competition—the Asia Cricket Cup—in 1996. Nepal joined the International Cricket Council as an Associate member in the same year. ICC T20I status and ODI status were awarded for consistent improvement in performance in 2014 and 2018, respectively.

This was accomplished in a dramatic manner, which has come to represent Nepal's cricketing personality.

Nepal needed to defeat Hong Kong in its last World Cup qualifying game in order to advance, and the Netherlands achieved just that. All of this occurred against the backdrop of the ICC suspending the Nepal Cricket Board in 2016 for violating Article 2.9 of the ICC rules, which forbids intervention by the government and demands free and fair elections. The ICC awarded conditional readmission in October 2019.

Paras Khadka, Nepal's captain at the time, praised "years and years of toil, persistence, sacrifices, commitment, and hard effort" once ODI status had been achieved. If goals to qualify for the ODI World Cup and even Test playing status were to be accomplished, he also made reference to the necessity to consolidate local infrastructure. Since 2008, Nepal has advanced from Division 5 to within striking distance of the major players.

The amount of fan support is one element that is present domestically. The ICC Associate member with the most ardent support is considered to be Nepal. My zeal has occasionally overflowed. When Nepal appeared to be losing a Division 5 match against the US in February 2010, the crowd hurled objects onto the field, resulting in an hour-long delay. 

Due to the altered aim that resulted from this, Nepal gained entry into Division 4 on the basis of net run rate, defying Singapore, which appealed. The stadium walls must now be taller after a conditional prohibition was enforced. A similar crowd disturbance in a match against the UAE in December 2011 resulted in a ban on hosting ICC events in 2012.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report.

China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...
