Meanwhile, CAN announced to not acknowledge any other leagues nationally as it will operate its own official league.

However, it has decided to allow the operation in the structure of the regional league.

The Nepal franchise league is expected to end as this could harm not only the cricket players but also the development of cricket as a whole.

CAN also announced the names of Biratnagar, Janakpur, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbini, Bhairahawa, and Far Western teams for the Nepal T20 League.
