Former Nepal captain Paras Khadka has tested positive for Covid-19 and is currently "under home isolation". The 33-year old was part of the Nepal training camp, at Tribhuvan University Stadium in Kathmandu, which included the BBL-bound Sandeep Lamichhane, Gyanendra Malla and Dipendra Singh Airee who had contracted the coronavirus too.
Khadka revealed this on Twitter, saying: "Having got mild symptoms, I isolated myself from the team over last two days and as I lost my smell and taste since yesterday evening, I conducted my PCR test this morning and the report has come out as Covid-19 positive.
"I am currently under home isolation and will be following all the guidelines as per the doctors..."
all the guidelines as per the doctors.

Unfortunately will be missing the cricket action in Chitwan starting tomorrow so would like to wish everyone my best wishes ahead for the Gautam Buddha Cup.
Thank you.
As a result, Khadka will miss the Gautam Buddha Cup, which will begin on December 12. He was supposed to captain Team Narayani in the tri-series.
Khadka's last competitive game was a T20I against Thailand in Bangkok in March 2020. Last month he had been shortlisted for the ICC men's Associate cricketer of the decade award.
