Here An Exclusive Interview With Subash Khakurel

1. How is your daily life going on?

Life going normally like others, In free time, I spend my days normally, hanging around with friends, staying with family at home. In the morning I am at Cricket academy for teaching and three hours in the day I am busy for my own training.

2. We are proud of our national cricket team because of you and your colleague. Tell us about your experience with the children in the academy? Do they see future in the cricket?

Listen I fell awesome whenever I am with the kids in the academy. They are positive about the cricket and their career in this field. They ask me enthusiastically about my experiences in the games .These are supportive things for us and of course for the nation .In the age of eight or nine, they could spend their time simply staying at home; however, they come for their training in early morning.

3. As we know consistency always has been a main factor for the success of cricket. Nepal played well in the world cup but failed to qualify in the consecutive year. You have been a member of national team. What are the causes beyond that?

Players were the main cause. Nepal could have qualified in the world cup if we’d played well. However it is not possible to continue the performance with limited resources, facilities over the years. We are not expecting anything from Cricket Association of Nepal and the Government of Nepal.

Although this time we are not in the world cup, better performance in the first match with the limited resources indicated that we have great future of cricket. And it is in the hands of government, CAN, media and the corporate house.

4. Besides the cricket, what you think about politics?

Well, politics!! Everything’s in the nation are directly or indirectly related to the politics. It is a major factor. Unfortunately, I could not fathom why is our nation always in a bad situation? I am not sure but it may be due to the political system or political leaders.

5. I do agree with your statement. However, they are selected from the election. Nepalese people voted them. Voters are also responsible for this. Are not they?

Definitely we have voted them but they made us fool. We could have voted others only if we had options.

6. Who is your favorite political leader?

No one

7. Suppose I am interviewing a prime minister of Nepal for a while. What would be your answer towards this situation?

It is impossible but I would say something. If I were a prime minister of Nepal my focus will be on country rather on me.
