America Did Not Give Visa To Sandeep Lamichhane Nepalese cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane, who is going to play in the World Cup in America, has been refused a visa by the American Embassy in Kathmandu.
Sandeep wrote a status on social media on Wednesday afternoon and informed that he was not given a visa. Other Nepalese players have already reached America for the T20 World Cup cricket to be held in America and West Indies.
After being acquitted in the rape case, the Nepal Cricket Association included him in the Nepali team. But Sandeep has stopped in Nepal after America did not give him a visa.
According to Cricket Association President Chatur Bahadur Chand, Sandeep had submitted all the documents along with the acquittal verdict. The International Cricket Council (ICC) also informed that they would agree to change the players.
An official of the American Embassy in Nepal who contacted Online News refused to reveal the reason why Lamichhane was not granted a visa. He said that according to American law, visa-related records are confidential and he would not comment on any case of visa.
“The US Embassy in Kathmandu and other US consular posts around the world have worked together to ensure that members of the national cricket team who are eligible for appropriate visas can travel to the US in time to compete in the World Cup,” he said. The US Embassy is very excited about the participation of the men’s national cricket team and in fact, some officials from this embassy met with the team a few weeks ago to encourage and encourage the team before their departure.’
On Jestha 2, Lamichhane was acquitted in the rape case by the Patan High Court. A bench of Justices Sudarshandev Bhatt and Anju Upreti Dhakal overturned the judgment of the District Court, Kathmandu, and acquitted Sandeep. On the same day, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) released his suspension.
