This will be his first stint in England.Lamichhane, 20, has played for Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes in Australia's Big Bash, for Sylhet Sixers in the Bangladesh Premier League, Nangarhar Leopards in the Afghanistan Premier League and for as many as three franchises in the Caribbean Premier League.

"Sandeep has played in many tournaments and gained a lot of experience in franchise cricket. He's a leg spinner, which is a bit of mystery spin we believe we need in our squad in terms of balance, so we are ecstatic with the signing," head coach Alex Gidman said."We believe and trust that we have got an excellent squad of players ourselves, and it's about adding to that squad, rather than getting players to replace players, and add to the balance of the team, which we think we've done well. "This is his first taste of playing in England, and I'm sure he will do well and have an enjoyable summer with us," he added. Lamichhane who was part of the Delhi Capitals squad till last year, recently went unsold at the IPL 2021 auctions after being released by Shreyas Iyer led side.
