Lokesh Bam

Lokesh Bam is a hard-hitting right-handed wicketkeeper-batter who has emerged as a high-potential talent for Nepal’s T20I squad. Since making his international debut in early 2022 against the UAE, he has been primarily utilized as an aggressive option in the middle order or as an opener in domestic formats. Known for his ability to clear the boundary with ease, Bam has maintained a T20I strike rate of over 145, reflecting his role as a situational 'finisher' who can provide quick bursts of scoring. His versatility behind the stumps as a wicketkeeper and his experience representing numerous elite clubs like the Biratnagar Kings and Nepal A.P.F. Club make him a valuable utility player for the national side.

In the most recent 2025 competitive cycle, Bam demonstrated his explosive capabilities by smashing a career-best 39 off just 12 balls* against Samoa during the ICC T20 World Cup qualifiers. This innings showcased his dangerous scoring rate, featuring a barrage of sixes that shifted the game’s momentum in just two overs. Beyond his international duties, he has proven his pedigree in domestic cricket with standout performances like a blistering century against Ireland Wolves (Ireland A) in early 2024. As Nepal looks toward future global tournaments, Bam’s reputation as a 'X-factor' batter capable of taking the game away from the opposition in a few deliveries ensures he remains a key figure in their evolving white-ball strategy.
