In August 2024, CAN announced that it would provide financial support to 35 provincial players across Nepal, with each province receiving salaries for three male and two female cricketers. However, Madhesh Province has gone a step further by expanding its contracted player list, ensuring greater financial stability for its athletes.
This move goes beyond the provisions set by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), demonstrating Madhesh’s commitment to cricket development in the region. The move is expected to encourage more young cricketers to pursue the sport professionally and enhance the overall cricketing infrastructure in Madhesh Province.
