Kathmandu, November 4
KS Bharat, the former India Test wicketkeeper-batter signed by Kathmandu Gorkhas, will not travel to play in the Nepal Premier League (NPL). The franchise shared the news on social media.
In a Facebook post today, Kathmandu Gorkhas said, “Due to prior commitments, KS Bharat will not be joining us this season. We wish him a bright future.”
The 32-year-old announced his retirement from international cricket a few months ago. He has played Test cricket for India.
Bharat has scored more than 1,800 runs in 91 T20 matches. A wicketkeeper who can also bat usefully in the middle order, he was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders side that won the 2024 IPL title.
Kathmandu Gorkhas had announced his signing for the third NPL season in the first week of Bhadra.
