Nepali team captain Rohit Poudel has said that the Twenty20 World Cup 2026 has provided a lot of valuable experience and the world cricket has had an opportunity to understand Nepal closely. While addressing the media after defeating Scotland on Tuesday, he also said that Nepali cricket has had an opportunity to learn a lot from this tournament.
He said, "The happiest thing is that thousands of Nepali fans have come to Mumbai. We were finally able to make the fans laugh. In the last World Cup, we won a game, this time we have won a World Cup game after 12 years, which means a lot. In today's victory, Sompal Kami bowled well at first, then Dipendra Singh Airi and Gulshan Jha played a responsible game."
Rohit praised Dipendra and said that he played well throughout the tournament. He said, "His performance in the last World Cup was not that good. Nepali cricket needs to learn a lot from players like him." He also thanked the Nepali fans, saying that it was a great achievement to play in a historic stadium like Wankhede. He also emphasized the need to strengthen the Nepali domestic cricket structure.
Captain Rahit, analyzing Nepal's performance throughout the tournament, said, "We probably should have won the match against England. The performance against Italy was disappointing. We should have done better against the West Indies as well. But in the end, we defeated Scotland today. We still have to do a lot to take Nepali cricket forward."
