legends of u19 ,2002 worldcup

These Lads are putting Nepal on the international cricketing map. Their stellar performace in the last U-19 World Cup earned them high praise. WEll done, you've done Nepal proud!

Binod Das
Captain/Fast Bowler "We'll put up a strong performance," skipper Binod Das had promised before the U-19 World Cup. And he kept his promise. A product of Kalaiya Cricket Club, Das showed leadership quality throughout the tournament.

The most experienced player in the ranks, Binod Das is also highly regarded by coach Roy Dias. Dias says he is captain material for Nepal. As a player, this tournament was the best for him with 11 wickets under his belt. This promising fast bowler has all the attributes to become quality paceman. Everyone praised his smooth bowling action and speed. He had represented Nepal in U-17, U-19 and in the senior squad. Judged best bowler in 1998 and 1999 Jay Trophy, Das also scored over 100 runs, showing he is capable of scoring quick runs in the slog overs.

Bardan Chalise
Vice- Captain/ Batsman/ Spin Bowler Undoubtedly man of the series for Nepal, he is one of the stars of the world cup with 231 runs and 7 wickets. With his strong performances, Bardan showed he can be an all rounder for Nepal in the coming years. Deputy to Binod Das and frontline batsman of the side, Bardan Chalise is a known name to club cricket followers in Kathmandu. This elegant right hand batsman was expected to provide solidity to the Nepali batting line-up, which he did in style. Whenever his team was in trouble, Chalise was there to rescue them. Be it 69 against Namibia or crucial 47 against Pakistan, Chalise helped Nepal to maintain a respectable total. Chalise was a member of the Under-19 team to first Youth Asia Cup held in Hong Kong, 1997.

Basudev Thapa
Batsman His crucial knock of unbeaten 41 helped Nepal to achieve a respectable total against Bangladesh. WIth 6 wickets gone for 136, Nepal's chances looked slim, but this right hand batsman had other idea. In the next five overs, Basudev Thapa along with Manjit Shrestha, scored 45 runs and helped to put 181 in the plate semifinal. This was the first international tournament for 17-year-old Thapa.

Lakpa Lama
Spinner
Though not as best as in the Asia Cup, Lakpa took 9 wickets in the World Cup. His best performance was against Namibia where he took 4 wickets.

This 17-years-old lad from Kakarbhitta came into the limelight after his bowling exploits in the Youth Asia Cup. A big fan of Sachin Tendulkar and Jacques Kallis, Lakpa was the highest wicket taker for Nepal in the Asia Cup.

Twice he took 5 wickets haul, one of them being the final. He also participated in Under-17 Asia Cup. He didn't allow any batsmen to better him with his tight length and line throughout the tournament. Also a sharp fielder, Lakpa has been in the national cricket since 1999. Lakpa is also a good footballer. He had played for clubs in Siliguri and Darjeeling.

Sanjam Regmi
Spinner Regmi, the right arm off-spinner, emerged as one of the key players in the Nepali squad. When it comes to defending the low target, Sanjam was there with Shakti Gauchan, the best Nepali bowlers in the tourney with 12 wickets. Sanjam didn't allow any batsman to bat freely with his tight bowling. He also scored a few runs, especially in the league matches.
Already a member of the senior side, which went to Canada for ICC Trophy, Sanjam Regmi is now an important member of Nepali the squad. Yet to celebrate his 19th birthday, this Bara lad aims to ape Mutthiah Muralitharan and Saqlain Mushtaq.

Kanishka Chaugain
Batsman
Highest run maker for Nepal in Youth Asia Cup 2001, Chaugain has average outing in the world cup. After having a good start, Chaugain failed to convert into big scores.

Though he scored 162 runs, he failed to score a single half century. This 15-year-old batsmen had a wonderful tourney in the Asia Cup. As an opening batsman, he held one end tight to give his team a respectable total. Called Bikky by his friends, he was at his best in the final against Malaysia where he scored an unbeaten 70. He had already represented Nepal in Under-17 Asia Cup. A sharp fielder in the slip, Chaugain took 4 catches in the tournament. Chaugain is all set serve Nepali cricket in the coming years.

Shakti Gauchan
Batsman/Spinner
This 17-year-old player from Bhairahawa has already been on the international circuit as the captain of Nepali Under-17 team to Bangladesh earlier this year. Though he failed to perform with the bat, Gauchan was at his best as a bowler. One of the best batsmen of the side, Gauchan was below par as a batsman. However, he came up with strong bowling performance. He had a tally of 10 wickets with an average of 20. Gauchan emerged as a reliable middle order batsman for Nepal with a century against Maldives in the Asia Cup. His knock of 53 against UAE in the semifinal showed his true class. Coming at 4 for 2, Gauchan held his nerves and build Nepali inning with Basudev Thapa. He is a big fan of Indian batting maestro, Sunil Gavaskar. Gauchan's strong point is to graft the run without playing to many risky strokes.

Yashwant Subedi
Batsman
Scored 147 runs with an average of 21 with best score of 45. Yashwant Subedi is rated highly as a batsman. The 16-year-old right hand bat from Biratnagar was a member of the side that participated in Under-17 ICC tournament played in Bangladesh. Subedi idolises Sachin Tendulkar and Mark Waugh.

Prem Choudhary
Batsman
Included in the team as a frontline batsman, Choudhary too had bad tourney. Scored only 34 runs in 4 matches. Choudhary, who hails from Kailali, has already played for Nepal Under-17 side in Pakistan in 2000.

Pramod Basnet
Fast Bowler Pramod Basnet would like to forget this World Cup. Included in a squad as a bowling all-rounder, Basnet had a poor tourney. He was supposed to be a perfect foil for his captain when it comes to bowling. This 17-year-old right arm bowler from Kathmandu was regarded by many as a player to watch in the upcoming tournament. Basnet was a member of Under-17 squad that played against Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Manoj Katuwal
Wicket Keeper Katuwal was among the top three wicket keepers in the World Cup. He had 14 catches under his belt. Had it not been for the presence of the experienced Ganesh Shahi, Manoj Katuwal might have flown to Toronto as a wicketkeeper with the senior team for the ICC trophy. He was among 18 probable for that tour, which speaks volume for the 17-year-old wicket keeper's caliber.

Apart from his keeping, he has won accolades for his batting, something his team would be banking on to boost the team's batting.

Manjit Shrestha
Medium Pace Bowler
Manjit had an average outing as a bowler. He did play his part as batsman in the semifinal against Bangladesh, scoring 27 in that match. Manjit Shrestha had already shown his mettle in his earlier outing with the Nepali Under-17 side to Pakistan and Bangladesh. He took 10 wickets, the maximum for the Nepali side, in the last Under-17 ACC trophy in Bangladesh. The 17-year-old Morang lad had only 5 wickets under his belt.

Basanta Regmi
Medium Pace Bowler
Regmi has played one match. As a left-arm pace man, understandably, Basanta Regmi's inspiration is Wasim Akram. The short stature and a lean frame of this 16-year-old youngster from Bhairahawa can be deceptive as he can generate quite a bit of pace with his simple run-up. Regmi can bat a bit when need arises, as he has a couple of half centuries in domestic cricket to his credit.

Rohit Sharma
Batsman
Selected as a top order batsman, 17-year-old Sharma from Nepalgunj can be dangerous if he gets going. Sadly, he played only single match in this World Cup. Sharma, who can also bowl a bit, was a member of the Under-17 side to ACC Trophy held in Bangladesh earlier this year.

Pokhara

Pokhara Sub-Metropolitan City (Nepali: पोखरा उपमहानगरपालिका Pokharā Upa-Mahānagarpālikā) is the second largest city by population of Nepal. Pokhara is city of close to 350,000 inhabitants in western Nepal located at 28.25°N, 83.99°E, and is situated 198 km west of the capital Kathmandu. It is the second most populous city in Nepal and also serves as the headquarters of Kaski District, Gandaki Zone and the Western Developmental Region. Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal. Three out of the ten highest mountains in the world are situated within 50 miles (linear distance) of the city so that the northern skyline of the city offers a very close view of the Himalayas. Due to its proximity to the Annapurna mountain range the city is also a base for trekkers undertaking the Annapurna Circuit through the ACAP region of the Annapurna ranges in the Himalayas.

[edit] Geography

Pokhara is situated in the northwestern corner of the Pokhara Valley,^[1] which is a widening of the Seti Gandaki valley that lies in the midland region (Pahad) of the Himalayas. In this region the mountains rise very quickly^[2] and within 30 km, the elevation rises from 1,000 m to over 7,500 m. As a result of this sharp rise in altitude the area of Pokhara has one of the highest precipitation rates in the country (3,350 mm/year or 131 inches/year in the valley to 5600 mm/year or 222 inches/year in Lumle).^[3] Even within the city there is a noticeable difference in rainfall between the south and the north of the city, the northern part of the city situated at the foothills of the mountains experiences proportionally higher amount of precipitation. The Seti Gandaki is the main river flowing through the city.^[4] The Seti Gandaki (White River) and its tributaries have created several gorges and canyons in and around the whole city which gives intriguingly long sections of terrace features to the city and surrounding areas. These long sections of terraces are interrupted by gorges which are hundreds of meters deep.^[5] The Seti gorge runs through the whole city from north to south and then west to east and at places these gorges are only a few metres wide. In the north and south, the canyons are wider.^[6]
In the south the city borders on Phewa Tal (4.4 km²) at an elevation of about 827 m above sea level, and Lumle at 1,740 m in the north of the city touches the base of the Annapurna mountain range. 3 eight-thousand meter tall peaks (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu) can be seen from the city.^[7] The Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) with an elevation of 6,993 m is the closest to the city.^[8] The porous underground of the Pokhara valley favours the formation of caves and several caves can be found within the city limits. In the south of the city, a tributary of the Seti flowing out of the Phewa Lake disappears at Patale Chhango (पाताले छाँगो, Nepali for Hell's Falls, also called Davis Falls, after someone who supposedly fell into the falls) into an underground gorge, to reappear 500 metres further south.^[9][10] To the east of Pokhara is the municipality of Lekhnath, a recently established town in the valley.

[edit] Climate

The climate of the city is sub-tropical, however, the elevation keep the temperatures moderate: the summer temperatures average between 25 to 35 °C, in winter around - 2 to 15 °C.

[edit] History

Bindhyabasini Temple in the evening

Phewa lake in 1982

Pokhara lies on an important old trading route between China and India. In the 17th century it was part of the Kingdom of Kaski which was one of the Chaubise Rajya (24 Kingdoms of Nepal, चौबिसे राज्य) ruled by a branch of the Shah Dynasty.^[12] Many of the hills around Pokhara still have medieval ruins from this time. In 1786 Prithvi Narayan Shah added Pokhara into his kingdom. It had by then become an important trading place on the routes from Kathmandu to Jumla and from India to Tibet.^[13]
Originally Pokhara was largely inhabited by Khas^[14] (Brahmin, Chhetri, Thakuri and Dalits), the major communities were located in Parsyang, Malepatan, Pardi and Harichowk areas of modern Pokhara and the Majhi community near the Phewa Lake.^[15] In the mid 18th century A.D.^[16] the Newars of Bhaktapur migrated to Pokhara and settled near main business locations such as Bindhyabasini temple, Nalakomukh and Bhairab Tole, which has resulted in a sizeable Newari population in the city at present.^[17] The establishment of a British recruitment camp brought larger Magar and Gurung communities to Pokhara.^[18] At present the Khas, Gurung (Tamu) and Magar form the dominant community of Pokhara. A small Muslim community is located on eastern fringes of Pokhara generally called Miya Patan. Batulechaur in the far north of Pokhara is home to the Gaaineys (the tribe of the musicians).^[19]
The nearby hill villages around Pokhara are a mixed community of Khas and Gurung.^[20] Small Magar communities are also present mostly in the southern outlying hills. Newar community is almost non-existent in the villages of outlying hills outside the Pokhara city limits.
From 1959 to 1962 some 3,000,000 refugees entered Nepal from neighbouring Tibet after it was annexed by China. Four refugee camps were established in and around Pokhara:^[21] Tashipalkhel, Tashiling, Paljorling and Jambling. These camps have evolved into well built settlements, each with a gompa (Buddhist monastery), chorten and its particular architecture, and Tibetans have become a visible minority in the city.^[22]
Until the end of the 1960s the town was only accessible by foot and it was considered even more a mystical place than Kathmandu. The first road was completed in 1968 (Siddhartha Highway) after which tourism set in and the city grew rapidly.^[23] The area along the Phewa lake, called Lake Side, has developed into one of the major tourism hubs of Nepal.^[24]
