EDUCAST, Liberty College successfully hosted a press meet for the KBA Global Cricsal Clash, an intercollege cricket tournament scheduled for February 13-14, 2025. The event signaled the commencement of an exciting journey for young athletes from across Nepal.
The press meet began with a formal opening ceremony, setting an anticipatory tone for the event at Velocity Arena in Kathmandu. Key representatives from KBA Global Education and Migration and Liberty College shared their insights into the tournament’s mission and vision.
Shambhu Kandel, Director of KBA Global Education and Migration, conveyed his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to bring this exciting opportunity to college students across Nepal. Our mission is to foster teamwork, skill-building, and camaraderie through sports. We believe that sports play a crucial role in the all-rounded development of young students. It not only enhances physical fitness but also builds mental resilience, discipline, and leadership skills—essential qualities for success in both academics and life beyond education. Moreover, participating in sports improves cognitive functions like focus and concentration, which can lead to better academic performance. Sports teach students how to manage time effectively and maintain a balanced lifestyle between academics and extracurricular activities. Additionally, they provide opportunities for social interaction and building self-confidence through achievements on the field.”
Following Shambhu Kandel’s remarks, Dev Raj Paneru, PhD, the Principal at Liberty College, the title sponsor, emphasized their support: “As title sponsors of the KBA Global Cricsal Clash, we at Liberty College are proud to support this initiative that brings together young athletes from across Nepal. Our institution believes in fostering a holistic educational experience, and sports play a vital role in developing teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills among students. By partnering with KBA Global for this tournament, we aim to provide a platform where students can not only showcase their cricketing talents but also learn valuable life lessons through competition and camaraderie.”
Binod Pariyar, Head of Global Marketing at KBA Global Education and Migration, highlighted their vision: “Our objective is not just about sports; it’s about creating opportunities for young athletes to shine on a dynamic platform. By organising this tournament, we aim to provide a platform where young athletes can not only showcase their cricketing talents but also develop these vital skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.”
Pramesh Tiwari, Sr. Admissions Officer at KBA Global (Chief Event Coordinator), revealed the tournament tie sheet and unveiled the trophies: “We have carefully curated a knockout format that ensures every match is intense and thrilling. With twenty teams competing over two days in a seven-over format at Velocity Arena in Kathmandu, we are confident that this will be an unforgettable experience.”
