History

The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) signed a NPR 330 million agreement with Indian sports management company Seven3Sports for a period of eight years to hold a franchise Twenty20 league tournament on 26 April 2022. On 18 May 2022, CAN announced that the first edition of the tournament would be held in 24 September to 22 October of the year. The league was authorized by the International Cricket Council on 11 July 2022. On 19 July 2022, four franchises, Lumbini All Stars, Kantipur Capital, Biratnagar Super Kings and Janakpur Royals, and their owners were announced. Two more franchises, Pokhara Avengers and Far West United were announced on 8 September 2022 along with their owners. The draft for the first edition of the league was held from 10 September 2022 to 11 September 2022. On 15 September 2022, the league was postponed to December of the same year after security concerns following announcement of the 2022 Nepalese general election. The league was supposed to be held from 11 December 2022 but was postponed to 23 December after Kathmandu Gurkhas (renamed from Kantipur Capital) withdrew from the tournament. The team was replaced by a new Kathmandu franchise, the Kathmandu Knights. The league was again postponed for a day and the 2022 edition officially began on 24 December 2022.
