Tribhuwan Army Club (TAC) has unveiled their squad for the Jay Trophy Men’s Elite Cup. Binod Bhandari will captain the 15-player squad in the longer-format cricket, played with a red ball and traditional white attire.
The star-studded squad features national players such as Sompal Kami, Bhim Sharki, Kushal Malla, Bibek Yadav, and Shahab Alam. However, Malla might only participate in one match as he has been signed by the Desert Vipers for the ILT20, UAE’s franchise league.
