Poudel is a specialist left-arm orthodox spinner, primarily valued for his bowling rather than his batting, though he can hold a bat as a right-hander lower in the order. His domestic Under-19 numbers stand out: in the lead-up to the 2024 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, he was reported to have taken 19 wickets in Nepal's national Under-19 ODI Cup, making him one of the format's most prolific bowlers at that level heading into the tournament. He has represented Nepal Under-19s across multiple age-group tournaments—the 2024 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, the April 2025 ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup Asia Qualifier (hosted in Nepal), and the 2025 ACC Men's Under-19 Asia Cup—establishing himself as a regular pick in the country's spin-bowling pool at the junior level.

Poudel was born on 8 July 2007 in Nawalparasi, Nepal, and came through the country's provincial Under-19 structure, representing Gandaki Province at the age-group level before graduating into the national Under-19 set-up. Ahead of the 2024 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, he was one of Nepal's leading wicket-takers in the domestic Under-19 ODI Cup, with 19 wickets reported in that competition.

Poudel's senior domestic and franchise cricket career is centered on his 2026 signing by Biratnagar Kings in the NPL.

Poudel does not yet have senior international caps for Nepal. His representative honours are currently confined to Under-19 level:

2024 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup (UAE): Named in Nepal's 18-man squad, having established his case with a strong domestic Under-19 ODI Cup campaign.

April 2025 ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup Asia Qualifier (hosted in Nepal): Named in Nepal's 14-man squad under captain Naren Bhatt, alongside teammates including Dilsad Ali, Ashok Dhami, and Santosh Yadav.

2025 ACC Men's Under-19 Asia Cup: Named in Nepal's squad under captain Ashok Dhami, with the tournament also serving as preparatory cricket ahead of the Under-19 World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia.

No senior T20I, ODI, or Test appearances for Nepal are documented for Poudel as of the sources reviewed.

Poudel's only professional T20 franchise experience to date is his 2026 signing with Biratnagar Kings in the NPL; there is no record of him appearing in an overseas franchise league (IPL, BBL, PSL, CPL, BPL).

NPL 2024 and NPL 2025: No record of Poudel appearing in either of the first two NPL seasons was found in the sources reviewed for this profile — his path into the league appears to run through the 2026 Category C auction rather than prior NPL seasons.

NPL 2026 (Season 3): Poudel was signed by Biratnagar Kings in the Category C bracket of the NPL Season 3 auction for NPR 200,000 (2 lakh), joining a Biratnagar squad already built around Sandeep Lamichhane and Lokesh Bam. This appears to be his NPL debut signing.

There is no publicly available record of Aparajit Poudel captaining a franchise, provincial, or representative side.
