In recent years, the ONCT has been one of the most successful teams in Indian domestic cricket. In 2019-20, the team won the Ranji Trophy for the first time in its history. The team’s success has been attributed to a number of factors, including a strong squad of players, a talented coach, and a passionate fan base.
However, the ONCT’s recent success has been overshadowed by a series of earthquakes that have struck Kerala in recent years. The most recent earthquake occurred on October 30, 2023, and it had a magnitude of 6.1. The earthquake caused widespread damage in the state and killed at least 12 people.
The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has released an official statement in response to the recent earthquake that struck Jajarkot and the western region of Nepal. Through social media platforms, CAN has expressed its heartfelt condolences and sympathy for the individuals who tragically lost their lives in this natural disaster.
In a noteworthy commitment to aid the earthquake victims, CAN has announced a significant initiative. They have stated that 50% of the proceeds from ticket sales for the upcoming Nepal-Oman cricket match, scheduled for Sunday, will be allocated to provide assistance to those impacted by the earthquake.
On Sunday, Nepal and Oman will compete in the final of the T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier at TU Cricket Ground. This benevolent decision means that half of the ticket sales revenue from the match will be used to support relief efforts for earthquake victims.
