Thakur also had a brief chat with the team members in his 10-minute stay at the stadium. According to Nepal team’s Technical Analyst Raman Shiwakoti, Thakur said the BCCI wanted to support Nepal in critical situation. “We will support Nepali cricket in future also. We can help Nepali cricketers by providing them with the opportunities to play in Ranji Trophy and other tournaments in India. We can also manage training facilities to individual players,” Shiwakoti quoted Thakur as saying.
