Kathmandu, January 20
Nepal’s national women’s cricket team have returned home on Sunday after finishing as runners-up in recently concluded Women T20 Smash in Thailand.
Binod Das, the team’s coach, says that he felt the team’s performance in the tournament satisfactory even though they lost the final.
“All of us wanted to win the title, but we couldn’t beat Thailand who I thought are a lot better than us,” Das told journalist upon the team’s arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
He further added that this tournament was good for the team as it was like a practice tournament before the qualifier for the Woman’s World Cup, which will be hosted in Thailand from February 16.
“I’m giving the girls a few days’ rest after which they will be in a closed camp for around 20 days. In the camp, I want to work on both strengths and weaknesses. It will help us achieve our goal to take part in the Women’s World Cup,” shared Das.
