Indian cricket equipment manufacturer SG has signed a one-year sponsorship agreement with Nepali all-rounder Gulshan Jha, under which the company will supply him with cricket gear for an entire year.
The sponsorship has been facilitated by Himalayan Willow, a company involved in the sale and distribution of cricket equipment in Kathmandu and other parts of the country.
Speaking at the sponsorship event on Friday, Himalayan Willow Chief Executive Officer Pradeep Yadav said SG will provide all essential equipment required by Jha for a year, free of cost. The package includes six cricket bats, ten pairs of gloves, and other necessary playing gear.
Yadav said the partnership marks the first time a globally recognised cricket equipment manufacturer has extended direct sponsorship support to a Nepali cricketer.
