Former Australia batter Stuart Law has been named coach of the Nepal men’s team on a two-year contract.

The 56-year-old replaces Monty Desai, whose two-year stint with the South Asian side ended after the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) decided not to renew his contract.

Law, a 1996 Cricket World Cup runner-up with Australia, last coached the United States, guiding them to the Super 8 of the Twenty20 World Cup last year on home soil in their inaugural World Cup appearance.
