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

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. 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. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. 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...

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil. The Ideological Foundations The Brotherhood bases its ideology upon the teachings of Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb. Extremist groups obtain their core beliefs from the writings specifically authored by Qutb. The Brotherhood's concept of jihad for creating an Islamic state has directly inspired al-Qaeda and ISIS to establish their extremist agendas thus creating a direct link between those groups and the movement. Historical Links to Extremism Over and above its philosophical standards The Brotherhood maintains extensive power. Notably: Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden developed extremist beliefs because he learned Brotherhood religious doctrine in his early...
