Prashiddha Jaishi is a Nepalese all-rounder who will represent Kathmandu Gorkhas in NPL Season 3, bought for NPR 2 lakh at the July 6 auction. Listed in both disciplines, he is the developing all-round option behind the retained Mohammad Aadil Alam, and his Season 3 may be measured as much in development as in appearances. One of seven domestic players signed at the table, he is the direct understudy to a retained international all-rounder.
In the Nepal Premier League 2026, Jaishi is a development signing the franchise did not buy to start: his brief is to learn the role from Alam, cover it if form or fitness intervenes, and be ready.
About Prashiddha Jaishi
Prashiddha Jaishi is a domestic all-rounder Kathmandu bought for NPR 2 lakh at the July 6 auction, listed in both disciplines.
He is the developing all-round option behind the retained Mohammad Aadil Alam, and his Season 3 may be measured as much in development as in appearances.
One of seven domestic players signed at the table, he is the direct understudy to a retained international all-rounder — the clearest possible definition of his Season 3. The franchise did not buy him to start; it bought him to learn the role from Aadil Alam, to cover the role if form or fitness intervenes, and to be ready in a season where Nepal’s domestic calendar feeds straight into franchise cricket. Development signings are judged on trajectory, not debuts.

Playing style and strengths
Jaishi is listed as an all-rounder with no verified batting or bowling style in the public record, so his game is best described through the demands of the role. A domestic all-rounder at the base price is usually a player who contributes in both disciplines at domestic level without dominating either: a few overs of honest bowling and lower-order runs built on strike rotation and the occasional boundary.
His development value is positional: training daily alongside Aadil Alam, the retained all-rounder ahead of him, and watching how a 22-year-old with an ODI three-wicket haul on debut prepares. What the coaches will be measuring is adaptability — can he bowl the over the match-up demands, can he bat the situation rather than his reputation? All-rounders are made in the nets; his Season 3 is a nets season with a match-day possibility attached, and the honest medium-pace-or-spin question will be answered there first.
Prashiddha Jaishi's role at Kathmandu Gorkhas in Season 3
Jaishi is the apprentice all-rounder, second in line behind Mohammad Aadil Alam for the domestic all-round slot. The Gorkhas’ balance depends on that slot: with three overseas players — Warner, Bharat, Arachchige — and a captain who bowls, the sixth-bowler-plus-lower-order-batter role is what lets the XI field five proper bowlers without a tail.
Jaishi’s job is to be ready to play that role at short notice — which means preparing as if he is in the XI while knowing he probably is not. His realistic window is a dead rubber, a rest for a senior before the playoffs, or an injury; in a 16-man squad across a compact October 26 to November 21 schedule, those windows open more often than the odds suggest. The intra-squad practice games before October 26 are his clearest audition: all-round contributions there travel straight into the captain’s selection thinking. If he gets the call, expect a straight swap for Aadil Alam’s role: a few middle overs and a late batting slot, executed without fuss.
