That’s just the way it is, and I understand that too. I’m joining a new team in September, so it’s not the best way to start an adventure. I’m going to wish this French team all the best.

Meanwhile, we are going to tell you about those 5 legendary players who can announce their retirement from this format after the T20 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma
This could prove to be the last T20 World Cup for 37-year-old Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Increasing age is a big reason behind this.

BAN Vs NEP 37th Match T20 World Cup 2024 Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s Bangladesh vs Nepal, West Indies, 5 AM IST, June 17 | Cricket News
Nepal head coach Monty Desai said his team want to leave a significant mark in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup when they take on Bangladesh in their last group game. Nepal will take on Bangladesh at the Arnos Vale Ground on Sunday. Despite their painful one-run setback to South Africa, Nepal will strive to “put on a show” against Bangladesh, who are in a solid position to make the Super Eights.
The Netherlands has an outside chance, but their net run rate is too low. Nepal, with only one point from three games, is already out of the competition. Desai wants his side to play against Bangladesh, believing they have a chance to qualify for the Super Eight. (WATCH: Ziva Dhoni’s adorable video for MS Dhoni on Father’s Day goes viral)
T20 World Cup 2024: NEP vs BAN Dream11 Prediction
Wicketkeepers: Asif Sheikh
Batters: Rohit Paudel, Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy
All-rounders: Dipendra Airee, Shakib al Hasan, Rishad Hossein, KC Karan
Bowlers: Mustafizur Rahman, Sandeep Lamichhane, Tanzid Sakib
NEP vs BAN Probable 11s
Nepal: Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (WK), Anil Sah, Rohit Paudel (C), Kushal Malla, Dipendra Airee, Sompal Kami, Gulsan Jha, Karan KC, Sandeep Lamichhane, Abinash Bohara
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Litton Das(w), Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman
“We are building our story, so I am not thinking about spoiling anyone else’s party. The message in the dressing room was that we still want to live in a world of imagination, where we want to believe that we crossed the line [on Friday]We want to think that we are on three points, looking forward to Bangladesh and playing to qualify for Super Eight. If you can bring that mentality and fight till the end, and cross the line, at least we will go back with a proud moment of winning, and then probably think about the ifs and buts of other games. But yes, we want to put up a show,” Desai said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. (PAK Vs IRE 36th Match T20 World Cup 2024 Dream11 Team Prediction)
Kushal Bhurtel and Dipendra Singh Airee split seven wickets against South Africa, followed by Aasif Sheikh’s 42. Sandeep Lamichhane did not take a wicket in his first match back for Nepal, although he was economical. Despite this, a run-out on the last ball cost them the game and the head coach Desai wanted Nepal’s players to recover from their setback.
“This is exactly where the mental strength will be tested for a young Associate team like Nepal. Twenty-four hours from now we will be planning, discussing and moving towards the stadium to play against Bangladesh. It is very important to remember the processes that have helped us so far,” the head coach said.
The narrative around Nepalese cricket also includes its fans. They performed in front of full houses back home, and it was no different in Dallas, Lauderhill, and Kingstown. “I think the biggest success story of Nepal cricket is about these innocent fans. I say innocent because I am only looking at it through my lens. I know when I walk across the Tribhuvan University ground [in Kirtipur]I see so many of those Nepali fans on the banks, they might be having daily jobs, daily wages to live their life and they leave that and come to watch the game and support these young dreams,” Desai said.
Desai welcomed the overwhelming support, but he also wanted them to recognise that Nepal’s growth was dependent on facing large teams and winning important games.
“They have stood with the umbrellas in the rain in the past. When we qualified [for the T20 World Cup]they were standing on the roof, they were climbing the trees. There are so many layers to the definition of ‘fans’ as the 12th man for Nepal cricket. I am sure it will be very hard right now for them to soak in their emotions. Cricket is cruel sometimes. Again, I say South Africa had already qualified, we just needed to cross the line and stay alive in this tournament,” he added.
“I urge the fans back home to keep supporting these young dreams with the limited resources, not using an excuse. I think we have taken strides. The more we get exposure against these Test nations, again another opportunity tomorrow, we’ll go to that [game] against Bangladesh, and I think we’ll be up for it. I know all it requires now in those one-ball battles is courage and that is something which we are instilling and moulding in these young dreams,” said the head coach. (With ANI Inputs)
