Which overseas players left and how did they perform?

Kathmandu, November 12 Several high-profile overseas players have left the third edition of the Nepal Premier League (NPL) midway through the tournament, as franchises compete for places in the playoffs. Despite making significant contributions to their respective teams, some of the tournament’s biggest international names have already departed Kathmandu before the competition has concluded.

Players including David Warner, Andre Russell, Moeen Ali and Shakib Al Hasan have left the tournament for various reasons, including commitments to other leagues, national team duties and personal engagements. Their early departures have not only disappointed fans but have also disrupted team combinations, forcing franchises to bring in replacements during a crucial stage of the competition.

Janakpur Bolts have been the most affected, with the highest number of overseas players leaving the tournament. Pakistan’s Iftikhar Ahmed and Hunain Shah arrived in Nepal before the competition but returned without playing a match due to disputes over No Objection Certificates (NOCs).
