KATHMANDU: National cricket team leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane returned home on Thursday after participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 from Delhi Capitals in the UAE.

After a stay of about three weeks, Sandeep will go to Australia to play in the Big Bash League (BBL).

Sandeep will miss the first few games of BBL. It is yet to be decided from which team Sandeep will play BBL.

But, the agreement is said to have reached the final stage.

Sandeep, who has played two previous editions for the Melbourne Stars, will play for a new team after his contract was not renewed. The BBL will be held from December 10 to February 6.
