In order to be eligible to play in the league, Lamichhane must fly to the host country within the third week of Shrawan. With all the aviation service shutted, it is creating problem for Lamichhane.

According to Shiwakoti, Jamaica Tallawahs are making efforts from their side. However, Nepal government is silent about the issue.
