Biratnagar Kings have re-signed American international all-rounder Shubham Ranjane for the third edition of the Nepal Premier League (NPL). He played for the franchise in the second edition, contributing with both bat and ball. The announcement was reported by a Nepali sports publication. No official statement from the franchise, the NPL, or the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has been supplied, so the details below are attributed to that report.

According to the report, Biratnagar Kings Team Director Dipendra Chaudhary described Ranjane as an experienced and versatile player. Because he can contribute in both departments, Chaudhary said, the team can use him in different roles as needed.

Ranjane said he was happy to reconnect with the franchise and committed to performing even better in the coming season. He thanked the team and supporters for their backing last season and said he wants to help the team reach its goals.

What Ranjane did in the previous edition

The report gives the following figures for Ranjane's second-edition campaign with Biratnagar Kings:

These figures come from the source report and have not been checked against official NPL records. His six sixes accounted for a large share of his runs, which points to a role built around finishing and quick scoring rather than long innings. The 10 overs suggest he was used as a genuine bowling option rather than an occasional one.

Ranjane has played domestic, international, and franchise cricket. The report lists Mumbai, Maharashtra, Goa, Rajasthan Royals, Texas Super Kings, Joburg Super Kings, Sharjah Warriors, and Dhaka Capitals among his teams.

He comes from a cricketing family. He is the grandson of former Indian cricketer Vasant Ranjane, and his father, Subhash Ranjane, played for Maharashtra and India's Under-19 side.

The report does not say whether Ranjane was retained, picked in an auction, or signed directly. It also gives no signing date and does not say whether other Biratnagar Kings signings are expected. The franchise has not yet publicly detailed his role in the squad.
