CAN fails to add spice to Twenty20 tournament

Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) puts up a duck when it comes to the upcoming national Twenty20 tournament. No nicknames (See my article from a few days ago), no fanfare, no excitement - just same old, same old. The whole charm of Twenty20 cricket is that it's supposed to be fresh and entertaining and an alternative to traditional "boring" cricket.

Below is the tournament schedule. Which region will you be rooting for? A better question would be which region is which???
