(Cricket News) Sandeep Lamichhane, the former captain of Nepal, was found guilty of rape on Friday, December 29 by the Kathmandu District Court. The charges against Lamichhane were first brought in September of 2022, but the leg-spinner has continued to represent Nepal while on bail pending the trial since a lower court order mandating his detention was overturned by the Nepal Supreme Court in January.
Judge Shishir Raj Dhakal upheld the charges against Lamichhane following a single judge bench hearing on Sunday. However, the court found that the victim was not a minor at the time of the crime.
