KATHMANDU: National cricket players will get their salary that had been halted following an International Cricket Council ban on the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) over a dispute in electing its new leadership. The ICC has agreed to provide two years of salary (2017 and 2018) to the players on the initiatives of National Sports Council (NSC), said NSC's member secretary Keshab Kumar Bista. 'We have initiated the process. The ICC has agreed to this subject.' The ICC categorised players will get their salary within some weeks,' he said to Rastriya Samachar Samiti.
