MetLife and CAN Renew
30th November 2025, Kathmandu
MetLife Nepal has renewed its crucial insurance partnership with the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), extending its role as the trusted protector of the national cricket teams.
MetLife and CAN Renew
This significant renewal of the MetLife CAN partnership means that both male and female national team members, along with CAN personnel, will continue to receive vital financial security and support.
For an ICT portal, this collaboration highlights the growing application of InsurTech in sports, where technology ensures rapid policy management and reliable claims processing.
This digital safety net allows athletes to focus fully on their game, competing with digital confidence knowing their health and future are protected by a technologically modern policy.
The partnership’s renewal comes at a particularly momentous time, following the national team’s qualification for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
InsurTech Powers Performance and Trust
Modern sports insurance is highly complex, involving global travel, specific injury risks, and quick turnaround times for claims. MetLife’s ability to manage this partnership effectively relies on advanced InsurTech platforms.
Digital Policy Management: The insurance details for the entire squad—including coverage limits, travel riders, and personal information—are managed through secure digital systems. This allows for instant updates and access by CAN management and the athletes themselves.
Rapid Claims Processing: In the event of an injury during international tournaments, the ability to file a claim digitally, upload medical documentation instantly, and receive rapid processing ensures that players receive immediate treatment without financial delay. This speed is critical in high-performance sports.

Customized Risk Modeling: MetLife utilizes data analytics to model the specific risks associated with cricket, such as career-threatening shoulder or knee injuries. This data-driven approach allows them to customize policies that truly protect the high-value human capital represented by the national team.
Confidence in Every Stroke
CAN Secretary and former Captain Paras Khadka emphasized the mental advantage provided by the partnership. “Having MetLife as our insurer provides us with firm confidence,” he stated. “Knowing that the players are secure allows us to concentrate on the game with our whole hearts and passion.”
The confidence displayed by the national teams in various international tournaments over the past year—every stroke, every dive, and every victory—was backed by the knowledge of MetLife’s insurance protection.
This security removes a significant psychological burden, allowing athletes to perform fearlessly. In the digital age, this “fearlessness” is directly linked to an athlete’s focus and performance efficiency.
Digital Governance and Brand Alignment
MetLife Nepal’s General Manager, Nirmal Kaji Shrestha, underscored the shared values driving the collaboration. “Our cricketers symbolize Nepal’s pride, unity, and determination,” he noted. “We are proud to be their security shield in every performance that inspires the nation.”
This corporate gesture is not just about financial coverage; it is about brand alignment with national aspiration and promoting digital confidence. By supporting high-profile athletes, MetLife subtly reinforces its image as a dependable, technologically adept partner ready to protect customers’ lives and assets.
Furthermore, the bank’s commitment to athletes preparing for the T20 World Cup provides a powerful message of stability ahead of major competitions.
This ongoing MetLife CAN partnership sets a high standard for how corporate entities in the financial sector should use their resources and technological expertise to support national endeavors and enhance the digital readiness of key sectors. The security shield is now firmly digital, standing ready as the team progresses toward global competition.
