Sandeep Lamichhane, a national sensation with an emerging international career, has played in various international tournaments – he represents Delhi Capitals in Indian Premier League, Melbourne Stars in Australia’s Big Bash League. He is due to play for Barbados Tridents team in the upcoming season of Caribbean Premier League.
