Nepal cricket team's former captain Sandeep Lamichhane, who has been recently accused of a sexual assault by a minor, hopes to return to his country, as soon as possible.
Lamichhane still remains at large while Nepal Police initiates a process to issue an Interpol warrant for his arrest. Taking to Facebook for the second time since the filing of a case of sexual assault by a minor, the former national cricketer reiterated to return back to Nepal "at an appropriate time." It has been 19 days since an arrest warrant was issued against him by Kathmandu District Court. "It is my good fortune to be included in the national cricket team at the age of 16.
It was not something that could be earned by my little hard work. I have always moved forward with the desire to keep Nepal's name high in the cricket world.
I feel proud to make the name of Nepal known through my hard work," he said. Further adding, Lamichhane claimed "I came to know about the complaint filed against me and the false accusation of rape.
