Cricket News: Manoj Prabhakar, the head coach of the men’s national cricket team, announced his resignation on Thursday, according to the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) (December 15). In August of this year, the former Indian cricketer moved to Nepal, where he saw good success and favourable outcomes.
Successor to Pubudu Dissanayake, the 59-year-old coach served with the Nepal squad in 12 games, including seven ODIs. With Prabhakar, Nepal experienced early success, winning all three ODIs and a five-match T20I series against Kenya by a score of 3-2. His most notable achievement came in November when Nepal defeated UAE 2-1 to win the home ODI series.
But in the World Cup Super League, Nepal lost twice to Scotland and once to Namibia, with the third match against Namibia ending in a draw. With only eight victories out of 24 games played thus far, Nepal is currently suffering in the World Cup Super League two standings in the second-to-last position.
On December 15, 2022, Manoj Prabhakar announced his resignation as head coach of the Nepal Men’s National Cricket Team. The Cricket Association of Nepal said on Twitter that it has accepted his resignation and wished him luck in the future.
