Who runs Cricket Nepal

Cricket Nepal (cricket.com.np) is online since June 11, 2001 as the longest running sports news site of Nepal.

This portal is run by a group of cricket nuts, who would have loved to be cricketers, had their talents not failed them. However, they realized that they could make a living writing on the game, got together and are trying to influence others with their passion!

Ujjwal Acharya / Founder Editor

ujjwalacharya-2617784Ujjwal Acharya spent a decade in sports reporting. In search of a day job, he ran around from Nepal Samacharpatra to The Kathmandu Post to being online editor of myrepublica.com and digital editor of Annapurna Post.

When not working (and also when he is working) he wastes time talking cricket and is yet to kill his love for cricket. The bug disturbed him so much that he founded the site in 2001. And ever since, neither this team, nor the cricket fans have been able to rest.

Somesh Verma / Editor

someshverma-5121937Somesh Verma started off being sports reporter for The Kathmandu Post. He was okay with sports reporting until glamour pulled him to idiot box and was in Kantipur Television (Editor, English News) for long.

Wastes time reading and watching cricket. The team chose him to be editor of cricket.com.np, as none other had as much spare time. The spare time, hopefully, is being utilized by Nepali cricket fans.

Bhaskar Gyawali / Special Correspondent

He often dreams of becoming a cricketer after he turns 40, as he sees less competition in that age-group. Executive Member of Nepal Sports Journalists Forum, Navin contributes frequently to Cricket Nepal.
