However, with experienced players like Colin Munro, Glenn Maxwell, Chris Morris, Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada in the team it will be very difficult for Lamichanne to make the cut. However, it is going to be a very enriching experience for the leg-break bowler.

Lamichhane has played 21 matches in List A cricket and has bagged mouthwatering 42 wickets an exceptional economy of 4.04.

He was also drafted to play for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Carribean Premeir League for $5000.
