Young star of Nepali cricket team Rit Gautam is going to play cricket in New Zealand. Rit, who is also the only cricketer in the history of Nepali cricket to score two centuries in the age group, will play in New Zealand's main domestic tournament.

Rit has been signed by New Zealand's Geyser City Cricket Club for the next six months. "I am sure I will play from the geyser. It is New Zealand's premier level cricket. The season lasts for 6 months. Division One, Championship and Premier are the highest level of cricket, ”said Ritt.

Rit is currently in Delhi for practice. During the practice, he had met the opener of the Indian cricket team Shikhar Dhawan some time ago.

‘It features all the players from New Zealand’s Trent Bolt. It has five competitions. There are two ODIs, two T20s and one ODI. Those who do well will be able to play first-class competition, ”said Rit.

Plunkett Shield is New Zealand's first-class domestic competition. New Zealand's Test team is formed from this competition. The match fee for the player playing in the tournament is 1750 dollars.

The season starts from October. Rit said he was preparing to leave in the first week of September if he got a visa. Rit said that he had arranged for the tournament during the lockdown. Impressed by his past performances, he has had the opportunity to play in New Zealand.

"I am just excited. It is a big competition. It is a great opportunity. You can play with Test players. I will return after 6 months of the season. My main objective is to play from Nepal, ” said Rit.

I also thought it was the wrong team in domestic cricket. APF was also invited to play. The team may not be able to play well due to lack of balance. There are one or two games in Nepal. It was as if he lost when he got to play there too. That's the decent thing to do, and it should end there. " He added, "I am going to play there. My main objective is to play from Nepal. There are many benefits to playing at a higher level than playing in the PMC for six months in Nepal. '

Rit, who plays domestic cricket from Bagmati, has been in APF for the last two seasons. However, they did not get enough opportunities to play in the APF when there was a majority of senior team players.

"I have never played a game of that level in New Zealand in U-19. Nepal's senior teams are not allowed to play that level of cricket. After 6 months of experience, it makes a big difference in my career, ”he said.

Rit, who has become the captain of Nepal's U-19 team, has been considered the future of ODI cricket. According to the performance of the age group, Rit was expected to make a place in the senior team soon. But did not get.

Rit, who went to the APF last season, did not get another chance after not performing well in the opening game. He played for Pokhara Rhinos in the fourth edition of the Everest Premier League (EPL). But the performance was poor.

Rit is the only player from Nepal to score a century in U-16 and U-19 international games. Ritt scored 115 against Singapore in the ACC U-19 Eastern Region Cricket Tournament and an unbeaten 106 against Myanmar in the U-16 Eastern Region in 2017. The main feature of the ritual is to bat patiently under pressure.
