Nepal cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane is set to face a jail term of eight years for raping an 18-year-old woman. Lamichhane's lawyer Saroj Ghimire will reportedly appeal against the verdict in a "higher court".
The leg-spinner, who is not in custody as yet, was not present when the sentence was announced at the Kathmandu District Court on Wednesday (Jan. 10) through a single bench of Judge Shishir Raj Dhakal.
