Nandan Kumar Yadav (born July 27, 2000) is a Nepalese cricketer[1] who plays as a right-arm medium pacer for the Nepal national team. He made his T20I debut on April 9, 2025, in the Hong Kong Quadrangular Men’s T20 Series against Qatar. His ODI debut came against the Netherlands in Dundee, making him Nepal’s 42nd ODI player.[2]

Early Life and Domestic Career

[edit]

Yadav began his cricketing journey in Nepal’s domestic circuit, impressing selectors with his disciplined bowling and ability to swing the ball. His performances in local leagues and national tournaments earned him a spot in Nepal’s squad for international fixtures.[3]

Nandan is a regular player of Bagmati Team.[4] Nandan has participated in Nepal Premier League, a prominent T20 cricket competition in Nepal[5][6]

International Career

[edit]

Yadav received his T20I cap in 2025 and quickly established himself as a promising fast bowler. His ODI debut was a milestone moment, with former captain Gyanendra Malla presenting him with his official cap. Since then, Yadav has been a key part of Nepal’s pace attack, contributing crucial wickets in international tournaments. His ability to adapt to different pitch conditions makes him a valuable asset to Nepal’s bowling lineup.[7]

Playing Style

[edit]

Yadav is known for his right-arm medium pace, focusing on accuracy and movement rather than sheer speed. His ability to maintain control under pressure has helped Nepal secure victories in competitive matches.[8]
