“WPHCCC is aware of the reports that two of our players, Rishab and Rudhra Iyer, along with their family members and other Australians, are unaccounted for in the ongoing floods in Nepal,” the club said in a statement. As of Saturday there were 41 Australians among almost 2,500 people reported missing in the disaster, including at least 777 foreigners.

Bhusal said Panthi was “helping disadvantaged children in Nepal reach their full potential through education”. Shylaja’s sister, Vaishnavi, said she had lost contact with the family on the morning of the flood as the family prepared to cross an immigration checkpoint at the Tibet-Nepal border.
