History
In April 2022, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) signed a NPR 330 million agreement with Indian sports management company Seven3Sports for a period of eight years to hold a franchise Twenty20 tournament.[7] On 18 May 2022, CAN announced that the first edition of the tournament would be held in September and October,[8] and in July the league was authorized by the International Cricket Council.[9] On 19 July, four franchises and their owners were announced.[10] Two more franchises were announced on 8 September.[11] The draft was held from 10 September 2022 to 11 September 2022.[12]
On 15 September, the competition was postponed to December due to security concerns following the announcement of the 2022 Nepalese general election.[13] Scheduled to begin on 11 December, it was postponed to later in the month after the Kathmandu Gurkhas franchise withdrew from the tournament. The team was replaced by a new Kathmandu franchise, the Kathmandu Knights.[14] The league bagan on 24 December.[15]

Controversies
Non-payments
The match between Kathmandu Knights and Biratnagar Super Kings on 3 January was delayed by two hours after players refused to take the field due to not having been paid. Players were contracted to receive 40% of their payment before the start of the tournament and the remaining 60% during the tournament. Only Pokhara Avengers and Lumbini All Stars had been paid anything. The game resumed after CAN officials guaranteed payments.[7]
Spot-fixing
Kathmandu Knights captain Gyanendra Malla revealed on 4 January that one of his teammates had been approached for match-fixing. The incident was reported to the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit, following which a team was sent to Nepal to investigate the claims.[18] The Central Investigation Bureau also formed specialized teams to invesitgate the incident.[7][19] The investigation found evidence that Seven3Sports, the company organizing the event, were involved in the incident, with up to seven players potentially involved.[20]
