After paying a visit to soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni today arrived here on a two-day visit to interact with Nepalese cricketers and meet fans.
“Youth should come forward for sports besides studies as it helps earn goodwill for the country,” Dhoni said while talking to reporters at the Tribhuvan International Airport upon his arrival today.
He said that he would be happy to promote cricket which is a popular sport in the sub-continent.
“Cricket is an upcoming sport in Nepal and I want to see Nepali youth forming a famous cricket team in future”, he said.
