Playing career

Baskota was selected as part of Nepal's fourteen-man squad for the 2012 World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates,[3] and made his Twenty20 debut during the tournament against Hong Kong. He made eight further appearances during the tournament, with his final appearance coming against Papua New Guinea.[4] In the nine matches he played in the tournament, Baskota scored 83 runs, at an average of 20.75, with a high score of 36 not out.[5] With the ball, he took two wickets.[6] Nepal finished the tournament in the seventh place, therefore failing to qualify for the 2012 World Twenty20.

Later in 2012, Baskota was selected as part of the Nepal Under-19s squad for the Under-19 World Cup in Australia,[7] where he made six Youth One Day International appearances during the tournament.[8] In August 2012, he was selected in Nepal's fourteen-man squad for the World Cricket League Division Four in Malaysia.[9]

He played for Upchurch Cricket Club, a cricket club in England, in Kent Cricket League Division 2 in July 2015. He scored an unbeaten 146 runs off 125 balls in a match against Gravesend Cricket Club and picked up 2 wickets.[10][11] Baskota was subsequently selected in Nepal's squad for the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship's matches against Scotland.[12]

In January 2021, he was named in the Bagmati Province's squad for the 2021 Prime Minister Cup. He was the highest run-scorer in the tournament, securing 215 runs.[13]
