Bishal Basnet, representing Nepal, made his debut during the recent match against Bahrain.

The defender from Jhapa FC, Basnet, was introduced onto the pitch during the 84th minute, substituting Chirring Lama.

Despite his debut appearance, Nepal faced a challenging outcome, succumbing to a 3-0 defeat against Bahrain in an away fixture of the FIFA World Cup and AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.

This result adds to Nepal's difficulties, following their earlier 5-0 loss in their first 'home' match of the qualifiers.
