What you can expect during Nepal Vs Namibia-World Cricket League:
Nepal are playing Namibia in their World Cricket League match this weekend. Onlinekhabar caught up with wicket keeper batsman Subash Khakurel, who is not in the squad this time, to talk about different aspects of the important fixture. Here’s what he had to say:
D ‘minus 1’
A day before match day, the team meets, usually before dinner to discuss its strategy for the game. The coach briefs the players on the roles they are expected to play, and how they fit in with the team’s overall plan. This is important because the players need to know exactly what the team expects from them.
Then after dinner, the captain and the coach meet to tentatively decide who they want to play.
Meanwhile, the players prepare their kitbag for the match, pack everything in order, and sleep well.
On D day
All players have their personal daily routine. This helps them gain confidence in their game. For example, there is a set time at which you wake up, the order in which you put on your match outfit, and so on.
The toss
If we win the toss, we should bat because on this ground it is usually a bit cold and because of that the ball faces some resistance in the air. This makes batting a bit difficult. But in the afternoon it gets easier.
