Kajini International Cricket Ground

Kajini Cricket Ground is managed by Suryodaya Municipality, in the eastern hills of Nepal. It appears in local government procurement documents dating back to April 2020, when a NRs. 41 lakh tender was issued for “land development” work—i.e. leveling, grass, basic touch‑ups to form a playable ground—but not building full spectator stands or pavilions.
