Nepal (9th at 2014 World Cup Qualifier, promoted to Division Two after winning Division Three) After appearing to be snakebitten at the qualifier in New Zealand, Nepal regrouped from a lousy experience and have come back a much stronger unit. They notched a pair of wins at the World T20 over Hong Kong and Afghanistan. Later in the year, they produced a clinical performance to finish Division Three champions for the second time in two years. A big part of that success has been Sompal Kami, who has quickly matured over the last 12 months into the fast-bowling messiah Nepal desperately needed to get on even footing with top-tier Associates. Although Nepal went through their share of administrative troubles in 2014, two positives they achieved were securing the continued services of coach Pubudu Dassanayake and awarding central contracts to 22 players. It is hard to envision another instant relegation to Division Three again and if the chips fall right they have an outside chance at competing for one of the two promotion spots.
