Nepal spinner ends Big Bash stint, to represent Sixers in BPL

The young sensation from Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane is all set to play for Sylhet Sixers in the Bangladesh Premier League. The leg-spinner who featured for four games in the Big Bash League left Australia on Wednesday to play for the David Warner-led T20 franchise in Bangladesh.

Lammichance completes an impressive outing for Melbourne Stars

The Nepal spinner played four games for Melbourne Stars in this year’s Big Bash League. He claimed eight wickets in the four games and stamped his presence with his quality bowling.

His most impressive spell came against Hurricanes when he clinched three wickets and gave away only 24 runs.

It is 11.10pm, the MCG lights are off and Sandeep Lamichhane is STILL signing autographs. And loving it. Yep, 50 minutes after the last ball, and hours after his last ball. Brilliant ? @IamSandeep25. #BBL08 pic.twitter.com/jS8imoY12x
