Nepal national team's starting XI to play against Pakistan has been announced. The two sides are set to face each other today, with the match kicking off at 5 PM at the Dasharath Stadium.

Deep Karki starts between the sticks with regular goalkeeper Kiran Chemjong not in the squad due to I-League duties with RoundGlass Punjab FC.

Rohit Chand, captaining the country for the first time, starts at center-half while Sujal Shresth starts at left-back.

Nepal are winless in the last five matches against Pakistan and will look to break that run. Pakistan are playing their first international match in three years.

Lineup:

Deep Karki (GK), Sujal Shrestha, Rohit Chand (C), Ananta Tamang, Dinesh Rajbanshi, Pujan Uperkoti, Tej Tamang, Sesehang Angdembe, Bimal Gharti Magar, Aayush Ghala, Anjan Bista.
