The workhorse of Nepal’s rise
Before Nepal had World Cup appearances and global rankings, they had Sompal Kami running in with the new ball. He has been the constant of the national attack for over a decade — through World Cricket League divisions, ODI status, T20 World Cup qualification and the 2026 tournament itself.
Career highlights
- Nepal’s first-choice new-ball bowler across formats for more than ten years
- Part of every landmark Nepal campaign of the modern era, from gaining ODI status to the 2026 T20 World Cup
- Dangerous left-handed lower-order hitter, responsible for repeated late-innings rescues
- Senior leader of Nepal’s pace group in the 2026 World Cup League 2 campaign
Playing style
Kami is a skiddy fast-medium bowler who hits the pitch hard, swings the new ball at pace-friendly venues and owns the death overs by preference for hard lengths over experimentation. With the bat, he swings hard and clean — a No. 8/9 opponents genuinely plan for.
Net worth and earnings
A decade-plus of central contracts, domestic league titles and match fees underpin Kami’s earnings. Editorial estimates place his net worth at $100,000–$250,000 as of 2026. His longevity makes him one of the most financially stable careers in Nepali cricket, even without a marquee overseas franchise deal.
