Nepal skipper Rohit Paudel and allrounder Dipendra Singh Airee are set to join the GT20 Canada lately due to the visa delay.
Dipendra departed for Canada just yesterday (Wednesday) and Rohit is set to fly today to join their respective teams. The delay means both of them are set to miss the opening match of the Global T20 Canada.
According to Ravi Timilsina (their Manager), both the players were held up in Delhi for the past week.
