Parash Khadka is a Nepalese professional cricketer. He was the captain of the Nepalese cricket team from 2008 to 2019. All-rounder Khadka is a right-handed batsman, a right-arm medium-fast bowler, and an off break bowler. He was one of the eleven cricketers to play in Nepal’s first ever One Day International (ODI) match, against the Netherlands, in August 2018. He was Nepal’s All-time highest run scorer in both ODI and T20I format until his retirement. On 28 January 2019, he became the first Nepalese batsman to score a century in an ODI match, doing so against the United Arab Emirates. On 28 September 2019, he became the first batsman for Nepal to score a century in a T20I match, doing so against Singapore. In May 2010, 18 members of the national cricket team, led by Khadka, held a press conference and said they will not play the national league because of the behavior of Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN). He led the boycott of national league for the second time in April 2014 demanding the restructuring of Cricket Association of Nepal and better facilities for players.
