Khadka thanked the insurance company for setting an example for the corporate sector by rewarding cricketers. "Playing both the T20 and One-Day World Cups is our dream but the efforts of players alone would not be enough to fulfil it. We need support from every sector. Let´s all come together and together we can," said Khadka.
Khadka further said that the company had set an example for other corporate houses earlier also by appointing cricketer Sharad Vesawkar as its brand ambassador.
Founding Chairman of Prime Life Khetan described the title victory in Division 3 as a historic success for Nepali cricket. He expressed best wishes for the World Cup Qualifiers and vowed to support cricketers in future as well.
Prime Life CEO Jha said the felicitation was a small gesture from the corporate sector to reward the national team for its success. "The entire corporate sector should join hands to support Nepali cricket," said Jha.
Former captain of national cricket team, Pawan Agrawal, termed the recent winning streak of Nepali cricket team at the international level as a golden journey of Nepali cricket. He also thanked Prime Life for its unconditional support to Nepali cricket and cricketers.
Nepali national cricket team, which lifted the titles of Division 4 and ACC Elite Trophy last year, defeated Uganda in the final of Division 3 on Sunday in Bermuda and qualified for the ICC World Cup Qualifiers to be held in New Zealand in January, 2014.
