Sandeep Lamichhane is the first Nepalese cricketer to have entered the Indian Premier League. He was purchased by Delhi Daredevils and it may have something to do with Michael Clarke. Sandeep Lamichhane is just 17 years old and has not had much international cricket but he played in the same team as Michael Clarke, Shahid Afridi and others as part of Hong Kong T20 blitz. They were part of Kowloon Cantons and Michael Clarke was so impressed by him that he sponsored and all paid visit to Australia to train with him at Western Suburbs team.
Ricky Ponting who is the head coach of Delhi daredevils may have been aware of this talented spinner and seems to have gone for the mystery spinner. The spinner idolizes “King of spin”, Shane Warne and says that he is the reason for him taking up leg bowling. In Nepal, he is referred as Asias Shane Warne. Michael Clarke congratulated him on being selected for Delhi Daredevils and wished him good luck for IPL season. He has been purchased by Delhi daredevils for INR 20 Lakhs.
