Early Life:

Sandeep Lamichhane was born on August 02, 2000, in Syanja, Nepal. Soon after his birth, the family moved to India, as his father used to work in Indian Railways in Haryana. There, his interest in cricket started building by watching legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne.

Later, at the age of around 9 or 10, he shifted back to Nepal along with his sister. Soon, he joined Chitwan Academy, a cricket academy in Nepal, and started honing his skills under coach Raju Khadka. Although both Sachin and Warne were his favorite cricketers, he decided to become a spin bowler.

He used to learn spin bowling skills by himself by watching videos of Shane Warne. Even in an interview, he said, he used to watch his (Warne’s) videos, and then he would practice for hours in the nets.

One day, Nepal’s then cricket coach, Pudu Dassanayake, saw Lamichhane’s bowling in the net and was so amazed by his skill that he called him to a training group of under-19 cricketers. He had barely crossed the age of 15 at that time.

Soon, he became part of the 2016 under-19 world cup team.
