Rijal’s agent Rabindra Chand who is also the brother of Nepal international Rohit Chand said that the club’s contract with him will end in March. Currently, Abhishek Rijal is in a close camp of Nepal national team in Pokhara. With Abhishek Rijal in I-League, there will be 3 Nepali players in the league this season. Nepal number 1 goalkeeper Kiran Chemjong is playing with Punjab FC. Recently Prakash Budathoki signed for another Indian I-League club namely Neroca FC.
Nepal will have no league this season in the country. Some of the players going out of the country to play will surely boost Nepal’s national team.
