मुहार फेर्दे फाप्ला

sijuwa मुहार फेर्दे फाप्ला Published on: 2014, May 06 ,1:14 AM यज्ञराज जोशी (क्रिकेट फारवेष्ट) धनगढी फागुन २२ गते । 88 87 1 0 0 0 फाप्ला क्रिकेट मैदान, केही समय अघि सम्म गुमनाम जस्तै । धनगढी बाहेकका अन्य स्थानमा खासै कमैले मात्र यो नाम सुनेका थिए होलान । अहिले मैदानले एक्कासी देशव्यापी चर्चा पाएको छ । कसैले पनि सोचेको थिएन यसले एक्कासी देश व्यापी चर्चा पाउला भनेर । फाप्लाको बिगत भने निकै दर्दनाक थियो । स्थानियका गाई भैसी चराउने मैदानका रुपमा प्रयोगमा आउथ्यो यो मैदान । मैदान कै विच बिचमा भैसी आल खेल्ने ठुलठुला खाल्डा थिए यहाँ । मैदान भरि कुरो (झार) उम्रिएको हुन्थो । अनि फुर्सद भएका बेला स्थानिय युवाहरु फुटबल खेल्न त्यहाँ जान्थे त्यसैले फुटबल मैदानका रुपमा बढी चिनिन्थो । नजिकै समुदायिक बन भएकाले बनकै एउटा खाली जमिन मात्रमा सिमित थियो यसको अस्तित्व । तर हाल यसको मुहार फेरिएको छ । बहुप्रतिक्षित नेपाल प्रिमियर लिग, क्रिकेटको राजधानी मानिने धनगढीमा हुने भएपछि त्यही गुमनाम रहेको फाप्लाले एक्कासी आफ्नो परिचय बदलेको हो । धनगढीबाट सुरु हुने लिगका खेलहरु यही फाप्ला मैदानमा खेलाईने भए पछि सवैको नजर यस मैदानमा परेको हो । अनि धेरैका मनमा मैदान बारे विभिन्न जिज्ञासा उठान थालेका छन । एनपीएल धनगढीमा हुने भएसँगै परिचय बृहत बन्दै गएको फाप्लाको हाल स्वरुपमा पुरै फेरबदल भएको छ । धनगढी चौराहाबाट झण्डै २ किलोमिटर उत्तरतर्फ पर्ने फाप्लामा हाल सवैको नजर अडिएको छ । निर्माणाधिन रहेको मैदान हेर्न मात्रै दैनिक मानिसहरुको उपस्थित बाक्लिदै गएको अनुभव स्थानियले गरेका छन । धनगढीमा हुने जुनसुकै क्रिकेट प्रतियोगिताहरु फाप्लामा नै आयोजना गरिन्छन । फाप्लाअघि धनगढीमा हुने प्रतियोगिता स्थानिय धनगढी रंगशालामा सम्पन्न गरिन्थ्यो । रंगशाला त्यती बेला क्रिकेटका लागि सवैभन्दा उपयुक्र्त मैदान पनि मानिन्थ्यो । छठौ राष्ट्यि खेलकुद प्रतियोगिताबाट रंगशालालाई विशेषत फुटबल मैदानका रुपमा निर्माण गरियो, जसले त्यहाँ क्रिकेटको मैदान मासियो । त्यससँगै धनगढीमा क्रिकेट मैदानको अभाव देखिन थालिएको थियो । विकल्पमा रंगशालाको अभाव अञ्चल प्रहरी कार्यालय कैलालीको खेल मैदानले पुर्ती गर्न थाल्यो । धनगढी बजारको बिच भागमा रहेको सो मैदान उपयुक्र्त र सवैका लागि पायक पर्ने ठाउँमा समेत रहेको थियो । तर सो खेल मैदान प्रहरीको घेराभित्र भएकाले पनि मैदानको स्वीकृती पाउन त्यतीबेला त्यती सहज भने थिएन । एसपीए कपको आयोजनाका लागि पनि सो मैदानको स्वीकृती पाउन उतिवेला निकै सघर्ष गर्नु परेको अनुभव आयोजकसँग रहेको छ । धनगढीमा क्रिकेट प्रतियोगिताहरु एक पछि अर्को गर्दै हुन थाले पछि यहाँ क्रिकेट मैदानको अभाव सवैलाई खड्किसकेको थियो । त्यती नै वेला धनगढी क्रिकेट एकेडेमीका अध्यक्ष सुवास शाहीका नजरमा फाप्ला मैदान पर्यो र उनले मैदानलाई क्रिकेट मैदानको रुपमा विकाश गर्न सकिने सोच अगाढी बढाए । उनको त्यो सोच नै उजाड रहेको फाप्लालाई राष्ट्यि स्तरको मैदानका रुपमा स्थापित गर्न मदत पुगेको हो । सर्वप्रथम फाप्लालाई क्रिकेट मैदानका रुपमा परिचित गराउने काम धनगढी क्रिकेट एकेडेमीले गरेको हो । धनगढीमा क्रिकेट मैदानको अभाव देखिएसँगै बैकल्पिक मैदानका रुपमा फाप्लालाई धनगढी क्रिकेट एकेडेमीले धनगढी क्रिकेट लिगको आयोजनाका लागि प्रयोगमा ल्याएको थियो । पहिलो पल्ट क्रिकेट मैदानको नाम पाउन थालेको फाप्लाको स्थिती भने क्रिकेटका लागि उपर्युक्त थिएन । बिच बिचमा खाल्डा थिए, जताततै झारपात थियो । अनि मैदान पनि मिलेको थिए । मैदानमा सम्भावना देखेका शाहीले व्यक्तिगत खर्चमा मैदान निमार्णका लागि आवश्यक सामाग्रीहरु, उपकरणहरु जुटाएको आफैले मैदान समेत सफा गरेको अझै सम्झन्छन । त्यस पश्चात मात्र मैदानले क्रिकेट मैदानको स्वरुप प्राप्त गरेको हो । धनगढी लिगको पहिलो संस्करणमा पहिलो पल्ट क्रिकेट मैदानको नाम पाएको फाप्लाले विस्तारै सञ्चार माध्यममा स्थान पाउन थाल्यो । तर फाप्लालाई सवैका सामु परिचित गराउने काम भने सोही लिगले गरेको हो । हाल फाप्लामा लिगको दोस्रो संस्करण चलिरहेको छ । दोस्रो संस्करण चलिरहदा एनपीएलका खेलहरु यही मैदानमा हुने भने पछि तत्काललाई धनगढी लिगलाई रोकि मैदान निर्माणको कार्य धमाधम थालिएको छ । हाल मैदान लेबलिंगको कार्य भैरहेको छ । मैदानलाई अन्तराष्ट्रिय बनाउन कुनै कसुर बाकी नराखिने शाहीको प्रतिवद्धतासँगै मैदान निर्माण धमाधम भईरहेको हो । मैदानसम्म पुग्न सजिलो होस भन्ने उद्येश्यले यस अघि नै नगरबस सञ्चालनमा ल्याई स्थानिय निकायले प्रतिबद्धता गरेका छन । धनगढीमा एनपीएल लिगको आयोजनाको मुख्य जिम्मेवारी पाउनु भएका धनगढी क्रिकेट एकेडेमीका अध्यक्ष सुवाश शाहीले जिम्मेवारी पाएको दोस्रो दिनबाट नै मैदानमा प्रत्यक्ष आफै सक्रिय भएर मैदान निर्माण कार्य सम्पन्न गर्न जुटिरहनु भएको छ । उनको यस सक्रियताले मैदान निर्माणको कार्य केही दिनमा सम्पन्न हुने लगभग निश्चित छ । क्रिकेट खेलका लागि मैदान पहिलो शर्त हो । जुनसुकै स्थानमा पनि राष्ट्यि तथा अन्तराष्ट्यि स्तरको प्रतियोगिता आयोजना सम्पन्न गर्न सवैभन्दा पहिले त्यहाँ मैदान छ छैन वा कस्तो छ, भनि हेरिन्छ त्यस पछि मात्र त्यहाँ प्रतियोगिता आयोजना गर्ने नगर्ने निश्चित हुन्छ । नेपालमा धेरै अन्तराष्ट्यि प्रतियोगिता हुन नसक्नुको प्रमुख कारण पनि मैदानको अभाव नै हो । भएका केही मैदानहरु पनि काठमाण्डौमा मात्र सिमित भईदिदा त्यस बाहिरका जिल्लाहरुले अन्तराष्ट्यि स्तरका प्रतियोगिता आयोजना पाएका छैनन । काठमाण्डौ बाहिर मैदानको अभावले राष्ट्यि लिगहरु सञ्चालनमा समेत अप्ठारो पर्दै हुदै आएको छ । फाप्लालाई बैकल्पिक क्रिकेट मैदानको रुपमा स्थापित गर्न सकिएान त्यही अप्ठारो स्थितीलाई सहज बनाउन सकिने छ । यहाँका स्थानिय त्यही काममा जुटेका पनि छन अहिले । उनीको यो सह्रायिन कामको सवैबाट साथ समर्थन पनि त्यतिकै आवश्यक पनि छ । सवैभन्दा बढी त देशमा क्रिकेट विकाशको जिम्मा पाएको नेपाल क्रिकेट संघले यसमा पहल गर्नु पर्ने हो तर क्यान यहाँका लागि आकाशको फल जस्तै छ । जसले यहाँको क्रिकेट विकाशका लागि कुनै कदम चालेको देखिदैन । क्रिकेट मैदान निर्माणमा जुटेका यहाँका स्थानियहरुले क्यानलाई चुनौती दिएका छन । तर पनि क्यानलाई कुनैपनि मतलब छैन । जबकी राष्ट्यि तथा अन्तराष्ट्यि प्रतियोगिताहरुको लागि यस क्षेत्रले थुप्रै खेलाडीहरु समेत उत्पादन गरिसकेको छ । विगतमा भएको मैदान अभावलाई भने फाप्लाको निर्माणले पुरा गरिदिने छ । त्यससँगै यहाँबाट थुप्रै अन्तराष््िटय खेलाडीहरु उत्पादन हुनेमा कसैको दुईमत नरहला। जय नेपाल जय नेपाली क्रिकेट ।

Kami & Alam shines as Nepal thrashes Malaysia Kathmandu – Sompal Kami’s Five-For along with half century from Mehboob Alam helped Nepal to thrash the host Malaysia by five wickets in the ongoing Asian Cricket Council Premier League at Bayuemas, Kuala Lumpur today. Nepal 150/5 (37.3 Overs) beat Malaysia 149/10 (43.0 Overs) by 5 wickets Malaysia lost early wickets after winning the toss. Except their opener Anwar Arudin who contributed 34 runs at the top order, Shafiq Sharif 24 (46) & Suharril Fetri 22 (81) somehow tried to hang in there but it was all Nepalese bowlers who troubled them and wrapped them up for a modest 149 runs in 43 overs. Sompal Kami was brilliant with his bowling, as he took five wickets in his 10 overs giving 47 runs. Basant Regmi grabbed two wickets whereas Mehboob Alam, Paras Khadka & Sagar Pun shared wicket apiece. Nepal lost the service of in-form Subash Khakurel in the first over. Gyanendra Malla too departed early for 13 runs. Then after, Nepal lost Paras Khadka (11) and Opener Naresh Budhayair (8) and were in deep trouble losing four wickets for just 36 runs in 10 overs. All Rounder Mehboob Alam and Sharad Vesawkar then guided the team to a Comprehensive victory, with a match winning 89 runs partnership for the fifth wicket. Alam scored a solid half century while Sharad (29*) played as a sheet anchor. Suresh Navaratnam was pick of the bowler for Malaysia today as he grabbed three wickets. For the outstanding bowling performance, Sompal Kami was adjudged Man of the Match and also Nrs. 10,000 from Nepali Movie – World Cup in Nepal. Nepal will play Oman on Sunday at Bayuemas, Kuala Lumpur. - See more at: http://www.cricnepal.com/10695/nepal-vs-malaysia-acc-premier-league-2014/#sthash.zc6Y7uza.dpuf

NEPAL CLASHES HONKONG Kathmandu – After the end of 3rd and crucial day of the ACC premier league, Nepal looks an improved side but batting is still a concern for them. Nepal lost to Oman in a nail biting thriller in their last game; bowlers almost won the match that was thrown away undone by the batsman. Khakurel returned to pavilion in the third ball of the match when the scorecard wasn’t off the mark yet; Nepal kept losing wickets at the regular intervals making tough for the batsman to follow. Sompal Kami and Sagar Pun put on a partnership of 28 for the last wicket to draw them to some respectable score of 157, but it was never going to be enough especially against a team that has been at its prime form. Some clumsy bowling early on by Mehboob Alam and some ridiculous decisions taken by the captain in the field withdraw the match from Nepal’s control. Tomorrow’s clash against Hong Kong will decide if the defending champions will get a chance or not to defend. If Nepal wins tomorrow, the hopes will be still alive but if they lose and Afghans wins against Oman then the dream of recreating the history will be dream forever. This tournament has been an upset as far as Hong-Kong is concerned, they have played three and are yet to get off the mark in the points table and lie at the bottom. As Nepal, batting has been the concern for the Hong Kong too, bowling has been pretty impressive throughout the tournament but batting is yet to kick off. A win or a loss won’t really affect Hong Kong as they are already out of the tournament but they will be looking to clinch out their historic rival Nepal out off the tournament too. Bowling of both of the teams has been at their best but batting have been demoralizing, only the difference is that Nepal is yet to face the strong opponents that Hong Kong has already faced. The contest tomorrow will be a do or die type for Nepal and it is sure there will be a nail biting finish to this epic match between these rivals. Pitch and the Toss: Pitch has been a factor in this tournament; it has behaved differently in numerous occasions than expected. It’s an early start in the morning so there is a little for the fast bowlers of the deck and of the air too but as the day goes on there will be simply nothing for the seamers, the pitch will slow down and start gripping and turning. The pitch is not a batting friendly; batsman will find it difficult to score runs. Expected Score: Something around 220 batting first will challenge the side batting second. Toss: In this sort of pitch where there is no clue how it will play, it’s always a good decision to get runs under your belt first. Expected Teams: Batting has been a concern for Nepal and it’s a must win game for them, so we might see some changes in the Nepali team. Nepal (probable) Subash Khakurel (wk), Naresh Budayair, Gyanendra Malla, Paras Khadka (c), Mehboob Alam, Aarif Sheikh, Sharad Vesawakar, Sagar Pun, Basant Regmi, Shakti Gauchan, Sompal Kami. Hong Kong (probable) I Ahmed, S Ali, JJ Atkinson (C) (wk), N Khan, B Hayat, W Barkat, A Sharma, H Amjad, T Afzal, N Ahmed, E Nawaz EXPECTED RESULT: Nepal has a very good chance of winning looking at the history and the forms of the players. - See more at: http://www.cricnepal.com/10709/nepal-vs-hongkong-acc-premier-2014-match-preview/#sthash.R4fYaIPv.dpuf

nepali national cricket team on action...

Tags: Aarif Sheikh, Afghanistan, Nepal, Nepal vs Afghanistan, Paras Khadka, Sompal Kami - See more at: http://www.cricnepal.com/10765/nepal-vs-afghanistan-acc-premier-league-2014-match-preview/#sthash.1fpv6O53.dpuf Chitwan – After the all-round performance- improved batting, disciplined bowling and better captaincy against Hong-Kong earlier day Nepal keep their hopes of retaining the trophy alive. However, the match against the arch-rivals Afghanistan will decide the top position. It won’t be over for the losing team though; they will have to wait for the result between UAE and Oman hoping UAE wins but with a small margin. As Afghanistan is on the top of the table after the 4th day of action, chances are better for them also if them loose too. It’s a game of uncertainty, anything can happen. Both the teams will look to win tomorrow to ensure their place in the finals at Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur 7:45 NPT onward. When Nepal takes on Afghanistan whatever would be the situation or circumstances, pressure and expectations are at their best. Neither of them would give it up till the very last moment, competition in between the competition takes place, loss to another can be accepted but to arch-rivals; no never, as frenetic and as pressurizing as Indo-Pak game. Last time these two giants of Asian cricket met in ICC Twenty-20 World Cup in Bangladesh, Nepal crunched the arch rivals by 9 runs. Nepal made respectable 142 giving Afghans some sort of challenge to maintain the tempo and pressure, they failed and Nepal registered their first ever win against them in T20 cricket. But the scenario now is totally different, a different mindset with different form of game and different temperament. Nepal has won three of the four matches played and stands second on the point table. Bowlers did it for them in first two matches and batsmen did it in the fourth. Nepalese strike bowler Sompal Kami is in prime form picking up 14 wickets so far- the best by any bowler in this tournament, also the disciplined spin attack has paid for them. With overall improved performance, Nepal would look to upset Afghanistan in tomorrow’s last match of the tournament. On the other hand, Afghanistan had looked a total side in this tournament. Their batting struggled a bit against the Malaysia but apart from that there is very little for them to be worried about. They have always played like a champion against Nepal and will look to continue that. Knowing it’s a must win game for both the team to remain alive in the tournament pressure will certainly would be on both the teams. The one which handles it better will end up winning tomorrow. Pitch and Toss: It’s an early start to the match so there might be something for the seamers early on off the deck and air. But after first powerplay as the moisture flies away there will be nothing for the seamers. Pitch will start gripping and ball will turn odd balls my keep low. Last match played here, the team batting first struggled against seam bowling. Seamers picked up 5 wickets in total clearly suggesting there is something for the seamers early on. Toss: Toss will play a part tomorrow, the team winning the toss will look to bowl first, help for the seamers, wet and heavy outfield might be the reasons. Expected Score: Something around 200-220 must be the team batting first looking around. Batting in this surface will ease quite a bit but not massively so team batting first must get to somewhere them to challenge the opposition. Expected teams: There won’t be any changes in both the teams, they looked good and fit. Nepal(Probable): Subash Khakurel (wk), Naresh Budayair, Gyanendra Malla, Paras Khadka (C), Sharad Vesawakar, Aarif Sheikh, Mehboob Alam, Binod Bhandari, Basant Regmi, Shakti Gauchan, Sompal Kami Afghanistan (Probable): NA Zadran, U Ghani, H Shaidi, N Ahmadzai, S Shenwari, M Nabi(C), M Ashraf, D Zadran, Shafiqullah (WK), S Zadran, A Hamza Expected Result: Afghanistan being a ODI nation and recently have qualified for the Asia Cup and the world cup has an upper hand on Nepal before the match starts. - See more at: http://www.cricnepal.com/10765/nepal-vs-afghanistan-acc-premier-league-2014-match-preview/#sthash.1fpv6O53.dpuf written by puskar shrestha
