On 11 October 2021, Lamichhane was named the ICC Player of the Month by the International Cricket Council.[89]

In December 2021, Lamichhane was announced as the new captain of the Nepal national team by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) after Gyanendra Malla was sacked, along with former vice-captain Dipendra Singh Airee, over disciplinary issues.[90][91]

In April 2023, Lamichhane became the fastest bowler to complete 100 One Day International wickets in terms of matches (42).[92]

In October 2023, he decided to rest for the Nepal Tri-nation T20I tournament hosted by Nepal, citing personal reasons, as per the secretary of CAN Paras Khadka.[94]

[edit]

A police complaint was filed by an alleged minor on 6 September 2022, accusing Lamichhane of raping her on the night of 21 August in a hotel room in Kathmandu. Police confirmed that the CCTV footage from the hotel revealed that Lamichhane had stayed the night with the girl.[95] On 8 September, Kathmandu District Court authorised the arrest of Lamichhane for further investigation.[96] At the time that the arrest warrant was issued, Lamichhane was due to take part in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League, representing the Jamaica Tallawahs.[97] Soon after news broke of the rape allegations, he was released from the Caribbean Premier League, but he denied any wrongdoing.[98][99] Consequently, Nepal's cricket governing body, Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), suspended Lamichhane from the national team.[3] Police in Nepal issued a diffusion notice through Interpol against Lamichhane.[100] As a result of the notice, Lamichhane was added to the Interpol fugitive list.[100]

Lamichhane turned himself in to the Nepal Police on 6 October 2022[101] and was taken into custody.[102] After four days, Lamichhane was remanded into custody for seven days to let the police continue the investigation, subsequently followed by an extension of a further 11 days.[103]

Responding to a review petition filed by Lamichhane, a joint bench of judges Dhruva Raj Nanda and Ramesh Dahal from the Patan High Court, on 2 January 2023, ordered his release on bail of Rs. 2 million. On 29 December 2023, the Kathmandu District Court, presided over by Judge Shishir Raj Dhakal, convicted Lamichhane of raping the girl, referred to as 'Gaushala 26', by taking advantage of her financial condition. His BBL and other T20 tournament licences and visa were immediately suspended. The court mandated a separate hearing to determine the duration of imprisonment, as well as any fines or compensation that may be imposed, set for 10 January 2024. The court, however, determined that the girl Lamichhane raped was not a minor.[104]

On 10 January 2024, Lamichhane was sentenced to eight years in prison and fined Rs. 300,000 in addition to Rs. 200,000 in damages to the victim.[105][106][107]

On 15 May 2024, High Court Patan declared him not guilty, overturning the decision by the Kathmandu District Court. CAN released a statement following the decision of the high court, stating that Lamichhane was made available for selection and his suspension was lifted.[108][109][110][111][112]

On 22 May 2024, Lamichhane's visa was rejected by the US Embassy. The reason was speculated to be CAN not including him in the squad for the T20 World Cup. He was assumed to be the 15th member with no formal announcement. The last date of submission was 25 May 2024 by ICC, but when the squad was not revised, he was rejected again on a re-application.
