Armed Police Force Club (APF) have announced their squad for Jay Trophy 2026, Nepal’s elite multi day red ball tournament, with national team captain Rohit Paudel set to lead the side.
The tournament runs from February 20 to March 3 and will be staged at TU International Cricket Ground and Mulpani International Cricket Ground.
Jay Trophy is Nepal's key red ball window, with teams competing in longer format conditions where building partnerships, taking wickets in clusters, and managing sessions often decide matches.
