“You must be wondering why I am dressed up this way, don’t you? Well, I am one of the pitch curators here. I dress like my workers and often crack jokes. They enjoy my company and follow my every order. This is my key to get the work done effectively. Taking about me, I always had liberty to follow my intuition: cricket. I am involved in cricket for the past twenty years. I started my journey as a player in Youth Cricket Club Biratnagar. Now, I am a licensed umpire to officiate regional games. We will get this pitch done and dusted by tomorrow. This stadium has what it takes to uplift cricket in Eastern Nepal to a new level.”
