The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) on Saturday announced the dates for the third season of the Nepal Premier League (NPL).
According to CAN, the mega event of Nepal’s franchise cricket will begin on October 26, while the final will take place on November 21.
It was speculated that the third NPL would commence during the Dashain festival. And that is the case.
CAN is yet to reveal if the fixtures will continue during the festival of Tihar or not. Tihar will begin on November 6 and end on November 12.
The TU International Cricket Ground, the home of Nepali cricket, is most likely to be the sole venue for the third consecutive season.
The organisers conducted the domestic auction on July 6. The teams are currently busy signing foreign players.
