KATHMANDU, Oct 13: In a recent announcement on his Facebook page, Nepali cricket team player Sandeep Lamichhane announced his decision to withdraw from the forthcoming tournament. 

Lamichhane cited ongoing personal challenges in his life, emphasizing the need for self-renewal and spending quality time with his family.

In a heartfelt Facebook post, he conveyed, "It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to withdraw my name from the upcoming competition. I am going through difficult and challenging times in my life and I feel that I need to rejuvenate myself and prioritize family time. I would like to express my gratitude for all the blessings and good wishes I have received so far. Thank you all. Until we meet again."

Furthermore, it has come to light that the legal case involving Lamichhane, who faces allegations of raping a minor, has seen yet another postponement during a hearing on Thursday. The complaint against him was filed on September 6 last year, specifically accusing him of rape. Subsequently, he was apprehended on October 6, almost one month after the issuance of an arrest warrant.
