The board also extended its best wishes for his future endeavors.

The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has bid farewell to cricket coach Monty Desai as the cricketing body decided not to renew the contract after the completion of his two-year tenure.

Issuing a press release, Chhumbi Lama, the Spokesperson announced that the contract of men's national cricket team head coach Desai won't be renewed.

Coach Desai had been facing scrutiny from the cricket board due to the national cricket team's underperformance in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the dismal performance in the ICC League 2.

Coach Desai is adored by Nepali cricket fans for multiple instances of leading the national team to historic moments with his 'one-ball battles' philosophy.

Cricket Association Nepal took to Facebook on Saturday evening to thank the coach for his contributions to Nepali cricket.

"From defending our ODI status against the odds to locking horns against Asian giants India and Pakistan at the Asia Cup to dancing on the World Cup stage with passion and commitment, you've made Nepal's cricketing dreams soar. Your belief, your smiles, and your heart built not just a team, but a lasting LEGACY" .

"As you embark on your next adventure, know that our 12th Men will always echo your name - and our gratitude will be as endless as the memories you've gifted us," it added.

To the coach who turned ‘One Ball Battles’ into unforgettable victories, and a happy dressing room into a family! 🏏✨

"Dear Nepal, This is NOT a goodbye, but a heartfelt THANK YOU! 🙏🏾✨ On January 10, 2023, I embraced the opportunity with Cricket Association of Nepal, stepping into the unknown with excitement and purpose, hoping to build a story that would leave a lasting impact on Nepal cricket. These two years have been unforgettable, filled with cherished moments and shared milestones. The Asia Cup qualification at TU Ground, where fans climbed trees and stood with umbrellas, and the World Cup qualification in Mulpani, where the crowd was electric, defined Nepal’s passion and resilience. This journey had its highs and lows, and I’m grateful to have played a small role alongside CAN Management, selectors, players, coaches, officials, scorers, groundsmen, cameramen, commentators, and my captain, Rohit Paudel. Every individual contributed in their own way, and I deeply value the camaraderie we built. 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬: You carry the dreams of millions. Stay grounded, embrace the One Ball Battle mindset, and keep pushing boundaries. The Happy Dressing Room philosophy built on relationships, openness, oneness, and accountability will always be your strength.
