Can Kushal Bhurtel Lead Pokhara Avengers in NPL Season 2

Kushal Bhurtel is a talented Nepalese cricketer known for his dynamic batting and consistent performances in international cricket. He made his mark with an impressive debut in both T20I and ODI formats, quickly becoming a key player for Nepal. Renowned for his ability to deliver under pressure, Bhurtel continues to be a standout performer for the national team.

On the Pokhara Avengers site Bhurtel is listed as Opening Batter. Batting Style: Right Hand Bat. Batting Style: Legbreak Googly. The player page shows Matches: NA, Runs: NA, Wickets: NA and Strike Rate: (NA) for detailed entries on that roster page. The Pokhara Avengers squad section on the same site lists Adam Rossington, Dinesh Kharel, Kiran Kumar Thagunna, Trit Raj Das, Sagar Dhakal, Akash Chand and Bipin Khatri alongside Kushal Bhurtel. That squad context underlines the mix of local talent and international signings Pokhara have assembled around Bhurtel as their top-order batter.
