Abinash Bohara (born 30 July 1997) is a Nepalese cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman who bowls right arm medium fast.[1]

Early life and career

Bohara was born in Salyan. As a child, he always wanted to join the army. However, after failing to succeed in the Army trials, he commenced his cricket journey representing the Nepalgunj [then region no. 5] U-19 cricket team. He scalped seven wickets (three against Baitadi and four against Birgunj) in two matches for Nepalgunj in the 2014 National U-19 Cricket Tournament and that, he believes, gave him more confidence in choosing cricket as a career option.[2]

International career

After good performances in the domestic leagues, Bohara was named in Nepal's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against the United Arab Emirates in January 2019.[3] He made his T20I debut against the United Arab Emirates on 31 January 2019.[4] He was named the player of the series, after taking six wickets in the three matches.[5] In June 2019, he was named in Nepal's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier tournament.[6][7]

In November 2019, Bohara was named in Nepal's squad for the 2019 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Bangladesh.[8] He made his List A debut for Nepal, against Hong Kong, in the Emerging Teams Cup on 16 November 2019.[9] Later the same month, he was also named in Nepal's squad for the men's cricket tournament at the 2019 South Asian Games.[10] The Nepal team won the bronze medal, after they beat the Maldives by five wickets in the third-place playoff match.[11]

In January 2020, Bohara was named in Nepal's One Day International (ODI) squad for the 2020 Nepal Tri-Nation Series.[12] He made his ODI debut against Oman, on 5 February 2020.[13] In September 2020, he was among the eighteen cricketers awarded a central contract by the Cricket Association of Nepal.[14]
