The Desert Vipers have signed Nepali batting all-rounder Kushal Malla for the third ILT20 season. Kushal Malla is all set to replace Netherlands all-rounder Bas de Le. The franchise brought Malla to replace injured Dutch all-rounder Bas de Leede. Malla was one of the most impressive players in the first Nepal Premier League earlier this month.
The left-handed batter and left-arm spin bowler made his ODI debut at the age of 15 years and 340 days against the USA in February 2020. Malla is currently Nepal’s fifth-highest run-scorer in T20 internationals. He has scored total of 917 runs in 47 matches, including one century and four half-centuries.
