2016 Everest Premier League
The 2016 Everest Premier League was the debut season of the Everest Premier League. It was supposed to be the second edition of the Nepal Premier League, abbreviated as NPL, and was scheduled to be held from 26 March to 4 April 2015 in Kirtipur.[1][2] but Cricket Association of Nepal insisted that it will not support the tournament unless its name is changed.[3] Later, the board decided to uphold the tournament as the name was changed to Everest Premier League and provided the ground for competition.[1] The tournament began on 24 September and ended on 3 October 2016.
