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

[edit]

Bohara was born in Salyan district of Nepal. 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 claimed seven wickets (three against Baitadi and four against Birgunj) in two matches for Nepalgunj in the 2014 National U-19 Cricket Tournament and believes that gave him more confidence to choose cricket as a career option.[2]
