Khadka, revered for his contributions to Nepali cricket, expressed his commitment to implementing the changes he has advocated for in the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khadka&#8217;s panel swept the elections held on Friday as part of the second general assembly of BPCA. Khadka secured the presidency by defeating his closest competitor, Umesh Piya from Chitwan, with a margin of 9 votes. Khadka had garnered 23 votes while Piya could only manage 14 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his illustrious two-decade-long cricket career, Khadka described participating in the elections as a unique experience. He acknowledged that the responsibility of implementing the changes he had advocated for now rests squarely on his shoulders and vowed for the development of cricket in Bagmati Province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward, Khadka emphasized the substantial work ahead to develop cricket in Bagmati Province. He admitted to initial hesitation when announcing his candidacy for the presidency but found the support of four districts instrumental in his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, four (Kathmandu. Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, and Makwanpur) out of the six districts in Bagmati Province had previously declared their intent to participate in the provincial elections under Khadka&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The completion of elections for all provinces sets the stage for the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN)&#8217;s national convention to be held in Kathmandu in mid-September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 2, Kathmandu: Paras Khadka, the former captain of the Nepali men&#8217;s national cricket team, has been elected as the president of the Bagmati Province Cricket Association (BPCA).
