About Rajesh Pulami

Rajesh Pulami is a name that resonates with potential and elegance in the narrative of Nepalese cricket. Born on August 27, 1992, in Jhapa, a district in eastern Nepal, Rajesh emerged as one of the bright hopes in Nepal’s cricketing future during a transformative era. A technically fluent right-handed batter, he was seen as a player who could bring balance, modernity, and composure to Nepal’s top and middle order. Pulami’s rise began in the domestic circuits and through his performances in school-level and age-group tournaments. He quickly made his way into the Nepal U-19 team, where his class and stroke-play stood out. With a knack for timing and an ability to play both spin and pace with ease, Rajesh became a regular in Nepal’s youth teams. His performances earned him an opportunity that only a few Nepalese cricketers had experienced at the time—training at the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Youth Program in England. The exposure at MCC and time spent playing in English conditions broadened Rajesh’s game and maturity. He was soon drafted into the senior national team, making his debut in 2013. That same year, he featured in the ICC World Cricket League Division Three, contributing useful runs in the middle order during Nepal’s crucial promotion campaign. Rajesh was also part of the historic squad that played in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. Though his international opportunities were limited, he showed glimpses of promise—particularly his ability to play risk-free cricket while rotating strike and anchoring innings when needed. However, Rajesh’s international career never fully blossomed as expected. With competition increasing and form fluctuating, he was gradually edged out by more aggressive and consistent batters. Despite this, he remained a key figure in Nepal’s domestic competitions and continued to inspire through his graceful batting and professionalism. Off the field, Rajesh Pulami is deeply respected for his discipline and dedication. He has taken an interest in coaching and mentoring, particularly focusing on young batters from rural Nepal who lack access to structured training. His story is one of early promise, international exposure, and a grounded commitment to the game, even when the spotlight moved on. As of 2025, Rajesh Pulami continues to play a supportive role in Nepal’s cricket ecosystem—not just as a cricketer, but as a mentor and guide for future generations chasing their dreams like he once did.
