The National Sports Council (NSC) has recalled Gunjun Shah Thakuri from the board of the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), ending her appointment less than two weeks after it was made. The decision was taken on Wednesday at the NSC member-secretary level, according to reports. Thakuri had been appointed to the cricket association’s board by the council on 1 Ashoj, but her tenure lasted only nine days, Nagarik News reported.
Recall ends a brief board appointment
The recall reverses the NSC’s own decision to place Thakuri on the CAN board. The interval between her appointment and its termination was brief: Nagarik News put the duration at nine days, while the broader description of the decision is that it came within two weeks of her nomination. The reports establish the sequence of events, but the information available does not specify the calendar date corresponding to 1 Ashoj or the Wednesday on which the recall was made.
The decision was attributed to the NSC member-secretary level. No further detail has been provided about how the recall was communicated, whether it took effect immediately, or what arrangements will follow for the board position. The reports also do not state whether the council plans to appoint another member in Thakuri’s place.
What is known about the decision
The central facts reported are the appointing body, the position and the short period between appointment and recall. The NSC appointed Thakuri to the CAN board on 1 Ashoj and subsequently withdrew her appointment through a member-secretary-level decision on Wednesday. Nagarik News described the appointment as having ended after nine days. No reason for the reversal is included in the available reporting.
That absence leaves important questions unanswered. The information provided does not explain whether the recall followed a review, a change in the council’s decision, a request from another body or any other circumstance. Those possibilities should not be treated as established explanations. For now, the reported outcome is limited to the NSC’s decision to recall Thakuri and the short period she held the board appointment.
Reports offer limited detail on next steps
The recall concerns Thakuri’s membership of the CAN board, as described in the reports. No additional information has been supplied about any other role she may hold, any response from Thakuri or CAN, or the effect of the decision on the association’s wider activities. There is also no reported statement from the NSC explaining its reasoning.
Nagarik News reported that Thakuri’s appointment ended within nine days. The report can be read here. Until further details are made public, the timeline remains the clearest account of the episode: appointment by the NSC on 1 Ashoj, followed by a member-secretary-level recall on Wednesday less than two weeks later.
