Ayush Chand Profile
Batsman
Dhangadhi XI batter and Sudurpaschim Royals Category C signing ahead of his NPL debut in Season 3 (2026).
Ayush Chand (also spelled Ayub Chand) is a Nepalese cricketer signed by Sudurpaschim Royals in the Category C bracket of the NPL Season 3 (2026) auction for NRs 200,000. He is associated with Dhangadhi XI in domestic cricket and has yet to make his Nepal Premier League debut.
Career Highlights
Key numbers
Ayush Chand is one of the newest names in the Nepal Premier League. He is not yet a household name in Nepali cricket — the public record on him is genuinely limited — but this profile pulls together everything that is verifiably known about him, sourced from auction coverage and domestic scorecards where his name appears. His name is transliterated inconsistently across sources (Ayush Chand, Ayub Chand, Aayub Chand); he should not be confused with Aakash Chand, the established Nepal ODI international and Pokhara Avengers fast bowler.
Player Profile
Cricket Career
Playing Style
Ayush Chand's playing style is very limited in public sources. Cricket Association of Nepal domestic league records list his role simply as "Batsman," with no bowling figures recorded against his name. His handedness, bowling arm (if any), and specific batting approach are not confirmed in public sources at the time of writing.
Early Career
Ayush Chand's cricketing background before his NPL signing is not well documented in public sources. He is associated with Dhangadhi XI, a domestic team based in Sudurpaschim Province, according to ESPNcricinfo's team listing. No verified information exists on his junior or age-group career.
Domestic Career
Cricket Association of Nepal domestic league records (via the CAN-affiliated CricClubs platform) show a short recent batting record: 2 matches, 63 runs, and a strike rate of 106.78, with no bowling figures recorded. The specific tournament and season these figures come from is not labeled in the source data, so this should be treated as a general domestic form snapshot rather than a full career record.
International Career
Ayush Chand has not represented Nepal at the senior international level. No T20I, ODI, or Under-19 World Cup appearances are recorded for him in public databases.
Franchise Career (Nepal Premier League)
His only reported franchise cricket experience is his NPL Season 3 (2026) signing with Sudurpaschim Royals. No other franchise T20 league appearances are documented.
