When the first grade Sydney cricket club, Western Suburbs, decided to include Nepali spin bowler Sandeep Lamichhane to their team, they had only seen him bowl on youtube.


Now, the 16-year-old has made an impressive start with the club taking one wicket in 8 overs and giving away just 17 runs.


Mark Ray is Western Suburb's spin bowling coach and the team manager, and he spoke to SBS Nepali about Sandeep's cricketing future in Australia.
