Thank you to @AusHCSriLanka for hosting us to meet the @CricketAus Men's T20 Team. I grew up watching and playing cricket across the #IndianOcean, from #SriLanka to #Kenya. The @ICC @cricketworldcup being hosted in Sri Lanka and #India showcases the effects of sports diplomacy.

Made in Nepal is not a book. It is a testament—to every Nepali who dared to dream, build, and believe. A story of resilience, hope, and a nation still rising. 🇳🇵@BinodKChaudhary
