The Siddhartha Bank Nepal Premier League (NPL) 2025, now in its second edition, has crossed 19 matches, witnessing major mid-season movements of foreign players. Arrivals and departures, largely due to the Abu Dhabi T10 and upcoming ILT20, are reshaping team dynamics.

Stars like Jimmy Neesham, Gulbadin Naib, and Shubham Ranjane have already returned home, while Jason Roy has arrived and Faf du Plessis is expected soon.

Franchises are actively reshuffling squads to maintain competitiveness.

Departed Overseas Players:

  • Jimmy Neesham (Pokhara Avengers): Played 4 matches, scoring 99 runs, including 51*. Left for ILT20 UAE.
  • Dan Douthwaite (Pokhara Avengers): Exited mid-season due to injury.
  • Gulbadin Naib (Lumbini Lions): Played 5 matches, started with 44, then left for Dubai Capitals.
  • Gerhard Erasmus (Kathmandu Gorkhas): 5 matches, 71 runs (highest 43*), 3 wickets.
  • Shubham Ranjane (Biratnagar Kings): 4 matches, 86 runs, 5 wickets; left for international duties.

New or Arriving Overseas Players:

  • Jason Roy (Pokhara Avengers): Joined from Abu Dhabi T10 to strengthen batting.
  • Sumit Verma (Pokhara Avengers): Replaced Raymond Reifer mid-season.
  • Faf du Plessis (Biratnagar Kings): To join soon after T10 commitments.
  • Shehan Jayasuriya (Biratnagar Kings): Added after Ranjaneโ€™s exit.
  • Niroshan Dickwella (Lumbini Lions) and Punit Mehra (Sudurpaschim Royals) also joined mid-season.
  • Other overseas players like Chris Lynn, Josh Brown, and Scott Kuggeleijn remain active.

Foreign player movements, influenced by overlapping T10 and ILT20 schedules, are key as only four foreign players are allowed per XI. Mid-season adjustments ensure teams remain competitive.

Foreign players dominate batting, while Nepali bowlers continue to perform strongly. With Roy and du Plessis arriving, the latter half promises high-octane cricket.
