And the @USEmbassyNepal did it again what they did back in 2019, they denied my Visa for the T-20 World Cup happening in USA and West Indies. Unfortunate. I am sorry to all the well wishers of Nepal Cricket. @USAmbNepal @CricketNep. https://t.co/xdBhaY6G91

Nepal is placed in Group D alongside the Netherlands, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Nepal will play its initial games in the USA against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka in Dallas and Florida before flying out to St. Vincent to play against Bangladesh and South Africa.
This is the second time such a situation has come to the Nepalese Leg Spinner, he was denied a Visa back in 2019 when his Visa was rejected initially to play in the CPL, The Visa is very important to play in the CPL, but he eventually got the visa. There is no clarity on whether he will join the squad in the West Indies or not. He has not been added to the squad yet.
