By Rabindra Dhungel, 25 August 2020. The Nepal Cricket Association (NCA) has insured the corona of national team players. The corona of 51 people including 25 players of the men’s national team has been insured. CAN has stated that the coroners of TU cricket ground, Mulpani cricket ground and CAN officials are insured. CAN decided to insure the corona of players and some other employees only two years ago.
In view of the recent increase in corona infections, CAN has taken out corona insurance to ensure and protect the health of players, officials and employees. CAN has insured 25 corona players, including 21 under contract and 4 out of contract players.
CAN, who has insured only the corona of the men’s team, has said that it is also planning to insure the women’s national cricket team. CAN Secretary Ashok Nath Pyakurel said that corona insurance for women players has also been considered.
