Minister Deuba further said that it was necessary to increase investment in sports of Sudurpaschim Province.

He mentioned that it is the golden period for the development of Nepali cricket, adding that the governments of all seven provinces have to forward sports-related plans to make at least five cricketers in each province self-dependent.

Stating that an environment has been created in Nepali cricket where players can earn both name and fame, Chand viewed Sudurpaschim is the fertile land for cricket. The CAN is always active in the development of cricket of the country, he shared.
