KATHMANDU: For the past year, Nepal’s national cricketers have played with fearless confidence — knowing that behind every swing, dive, and victory stood a trusted protector: MetLife Nepal.

Now, after a year of being their insurer and partner in pride, MetLife has once again renewed its commitment with the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) to continue safeguarding the players who carry the hopes of millions.

This renewed partnership ensures that both the Men’s and Women’s National Cricket Teams and CAN continue to have access to financial protection and support, helping them stay focused on the game, their performance, and the moments that unite a country.

The commitment for protection comes at an especially proud moment for the nation — as Nepal’s cricket team has qualified for the ICC T20 World Cup, marking another milestone in the country’s sporting journey.

With greater challenges ahead, the team’s confidence to play boldly is strengthened by MetLife’s unwavering protection.

“Having MetLife as our insurer gives us a strong sense of assurance,” shared Paras Khadka, former National Captain and CAN Secretary. “Knowing that our players are protected helps us stay focused and play with heart.”

Mr. Nirmal Kajee Shrestha, Vice President and General Manager of MetLife Nepal, said: “Our cricketers embody Nepal’s pride, unity, and resilience. We’re proud to continue standing beside them, ensuring they are protected while they inspire a nation with every performance.” As the team prepares for their next big stage, MetLife continues to be their trusted shield, enabling our national heroes to face every challenge with courage and confidence. Because when our heroes play fearlessly, Nepal’s spirit shines brighter.”
