Lamichhane replaces Paudel as Nepal ODI captain for Premier Cup

Cricket is a sport played between two teams of players.

Nepal has a national cricket team, and one player is chosen as the captain to lead it.

The captain is like the team's leader on the field.

Sandeep Lamichhane has been chosen to be the new captain of Nepal's one-day team, which plays matches that last about a day.

He is taking over from Rohit Paudel, who was the captain before him.

Lamichhane is a leg-spinner, meaning he bowls the ball so it spins in a tricky way for batters.

He has taken many wickets for Nepal, which means he has gotten many opposing batters out.

The team will play in a tournament called the ACC Men's Premier Cup, held in Malaysia.

Lamichhane has lots of experience, and Nepal hopes he will help the team play well.

Some players were left off the team and some new players were added for this tournament.
