KATHMANDU, July 21: Nepali leg-spinner, Sandeep Lamichhane has returned to Nepal after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said his visa was invalid.

Taking to facebook, Lamichhane wrote that his visa has been termed invalid by the ECB. “On July 18, two days before my quarantine completion, I was told by the ECB that my visa is not valid and that I have to leave the country as soon as possible.” “I have been asking what went wrong but apparently no one at the ECB has the correct answer. I can totally understand that things can go south any time, however, I at least deserve a clear answer to why my valid visa is not valid anymore,” Lamichhane further wrote.
