Lalit Rajbanshi has been named in the Janakpur Bolts squad for the Nepal Premier League 2025, where his profile is listed on the team’s ESPNcricinfo squad page (last updated 14-Nov-2025). The page records Rajbanshi as a bowler (age: 26y 260d), batting right-handed and bowling slow left-arm orthodox. His presence in the national portrait session for the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Bulawayo on March 3, 2018 is documented in Getty Images, underscoring his international exposure dating back to 2018.
Behind the squad listing on ESPNcricinfo, Janakpur’s roster pairs Rajbanshi with high-profile international names such as Imran Tahir and Wayne Parnell and seasoned batters including Lahiru Milantha and Aasif Sheikh — a mix that highlights the Bolts’ balance of spin, pace and batting experience. As a slow left-arm orthodox bowler, Rajbanshi offers the squad a specialist spin option that complements legspin and medium‑pace resources shown on the same squad page. The ESPN listing confirms his role among the team’s designated bowlers and the official squad context for NPL 2025. Getty’s portrait caption and the ESPN squad details together show a player with both domestic franchise involvement and a record of national-team participation. Given that the squad was publicly posted for the upcoming NPL season, Rajbanshi’s form and how he is used by the Bolts’ management will be key talking points once matches begin.
Discussion:
- How important will Rajbanshi’s left-arm orthodox spin be to Janakpur Bolts on typical Nepali surfaces?
- With international names like Imran Tahir and Wayne Parnell in the squad, should Rajbanshi be used as the lead spinner or in a supporting role?
- How do you rate Rajbanshi’s international experience (noted in Getty’s ICC portrait session) as a factor in high-pressure NPL games?
- Which match-ups in the NPL should fans watch to judge Rajbanshi’s early-season impact?
- What balance of spin and pace would you like to see Janakpur use during the powerplay and middle overs?
Keep the discussion factual, respectful, and cricket-focused.
