In a significant setback for Nepal’s cricket team, left-arm spinner Lalit Rajbanshi has sustained a fracture to his Closed Right Clavicle, making him absent from participation in the upcoming Asian Games in China, just a week away. This unfortunate incident transpired during a warm-up match as Lalit was fielding at the Chobhar end of the TU Ground.
Swiftly after the injury occurred, Lalit was transported to the National Hospital in Kalanki for immediate medical attention. However, it quickly became apparent that the injury was of a serious nature and necessitated specialized treatment. As a result, he was subsequently referred to B&B Hospital, where medical experts advised that he undergo surgery to rectify the issue.
The surgery, which took place today, will require Lalit to remain hospitalized for an extended period as part of his recovery regimen. Mr. Abhishek Raj Singh, the medical coordinator for the Nepal cricket team, disclosed that Lalit Rajbanshi is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks. This setback has raised questions about his availability for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, which Nepal is scheduled to host at the end of October.
The injury to Lalit Rajbanshi has brought a wave of concern among the Nepali cricket community, as he is a key contributor to the national team’s bowling arsenal. His absence from the Asian Games would be a significant blow to Nepal’s aspirations in the tournament.
The medical team will now focus on expediting Lalit’s recovery process and working diligently to facilitate his return to the cricketing arena. All eyes will be on his progress in the coming weeks, with the hope that he can regain full fitness in time for the crucial World Cup qualifiers on home soil.
