KATHMANDU, July 19: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has gone with its decision to suspend the Nepal Cricket Association (CAN).
The Thursday's annual conference meeting of the ICC Board took place in London, England did not enter into the agenda of lifting the CAN suspension. The ICC had on April 25, 2016, decided to suspend CAN, citing increasing government interference in it. The frequent efforts to get the suspension removed had turned unsuccessful. Despite the ICC action, Nepal is playing the international cricket matches under the ICC surveillance.
