Captain Dipendra Singh Airee will not participate in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) as he must focus on the ACC Men’s Premier Cup and the Asian Games. The Amsterdam Flames have included Netherlands player David Rushmier as his replacement in the squad.
The Flames extended their best wishes to Dipendra and the Nepalese team on social media for the Premier Cup and Asian Games, stating, “We will be supporting the Tigers.” Earlier, the Amsterdam Flames had signed Dipendra under the captaincy of Australian star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh.
Similarly, Nepalese leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, contracted with the Rotterdam Rhinos, is also likely to miss the ETPL due to national team commitments. The ICC-approved European T20 Premier League is a multinational franchise T20 tournament scheduled to take place across four European nations. This edition will mark the inaugural season of the ETPL.
