Club career

Basnet began his career at Druk Star,[1] though given that they were not relegated from the A-Division in 2010[2] but did not partake in the 2011 season,[3] it is unclear what level of football he was playing. He moved from Thimphu to Ugyen Academy in Punakha in 2012 and won the National League in 2013.[4] Following the national title, he played in the 2014 AFC President's Cup, taking part in the 1–0 loss to Sri Lanka's Air Force SC,[5] the 3–0 loss to Pakistan's KRL F.C.[6] and the 4–0 loss to Bangladesh's Sheikh Russel KC.[7]

International career

He made his first appearance for the Bhutan national football team in 2012[1] in the 5–0 friendly defeat to Thailand. He next played for Bhutan in their 3–0 loss to Afghanistan in the 2013 SAFF Championship group stage.[8] He was also an unused substitute in the other two group matches, the 8–2 loss to the Maldives[9] and the 5–2 loss to Sri Lanka[10]

gollark: I read a random internet website™ on automatic differentiation and how it is apparently much better than regular symbolic differentiation, so of course this is to occur.
gollark: I have some approximate ideas of hardware; osmarkscalculator™️ would use a memory LCD thing, a higher-powered ARM SoC (an STM32 or whatever?), and probably run Lua if it was to be programmable.
gollark: Prototypes will be available for the low price of £106.50 each, subject to inflation.
gollark: This is why all are to osmarkscalculator™, if I ever learn enough hardware things™, finalize the design whatsoever and bother enough to make it work.
gollark: Now, how can I get overly high precision floats or something...
