Scotland’s star opener George Munsey will play for Biratnagar Kings in the upcoming Nepal Premier League 2025. The franchise confirmed his signing on Saturday. The 32 year old left-hander is known for his attacking batting style. He plays in the opening position for the team.
He has played 81 T20Is for Scotland, scoring 2,302 runs with 2 centuries and 13 fifties. Overall, Munsey has featured in 102 T20 matches, accumulating 2,648 runs. He has also played in major franchise leagues, including for Dubai Capitals, Karachi Kings, Chennai Braves, Brampton Wolves, and Sylhet Strikers. His arrival adds international experience and power to Biratnagar Kings’ top order ahead of the new NPL season. Biratnagar piled up a mammoth 220 for 6 in their 20 overs — the highest team total in NPL history. They surpassed their previous best of 193 against Lumbini in the inaugural season. Biratnagar lost George Munsey early for 10, but Bam and Guptill dominated the attack, stitching a 132-run partnership for the second wicket—the second-highest stand in NPL history.
