Arrest Warrant Issued For Nepal Cricket Captain Over Alleged Rape: Police
A Nepali court issued an arrest warrant Thursday for Nepal cricket team captain Sandeep Lamichhane, police said, after a 17-year-old girl accused him of rape. Sandeep Lamichhane, 22, has been a poster boy for the rise of cricket in mountainous Nepal, which gained one-day international status in 2018 but remains a long way from contesting a World Cup. The leg spinner's big break came when he was snapped up by the Delhi Capitals for the money-spinning Indian Premier League in 2018, and he has since been the most sought-after Nepali cricket player in international T20 leagues.
