Amrit is a left-handed batsman and a left-arm medium-fast bowler. He made his debut for Nepal against Hong Kong in October 2006. He currently holds the responsibility of pace attack for the team
He represents the Association des Paralysés de France Club of the National League and Kantipur Gurkhas of the Nepal Premier League.
Amrit Bhattarai started his national cricketing career by representing Nepal in the 2005 edition of the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination U-15 tournament. Following impressive performances, Bhattarai secured a place in the under-19 team the same year during the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Under-19 Asia Cup where he managed to claim 13 wickets and this performance helped Bhattarai cement his spot in the squad for the 2006 Under-19 World Cup.
He scored 82 runs in an inning against Saudi Arabia Under-19, which is his highest score in batting. Bhattarai debuted for the senior national team in 2006 during the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Premier League.
Slots for fast bowlers were limited then as the lethal opening duo of Binod Das and Mehboob Alam reigned as the strike bowlers of Nepal and Bhattarai wasn"t able to outperform the two stars of the national team
Consequently, he had to wait for two years before the left-arm medium pace bowler was recalled to the national squad for the 2008 Interstate Commerce Commission World Cricket League Division Five. Bhattarai wasn"t able to perform to his potential and failed to make any headlines during the tournament due to which he had to wait for another two years before he was recalled into the squad in 2010 for the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Trophy and the Division Four tournament. Being left out of the squad twice must have gnawed at Bhattarai, who seemed to return with a vengeance during the 2010 Division Four tournament where he bowled exceptionally well to scalp a total of 12 wickets for the eventual tournament winners, Nepal, and since then, Bhattarai hasn"t struggled to maintain his place in the national senior side.
Some of his memorable performances include four wickets against Singapore in the 2012 Division Four, three against Hong Kong in 2012 Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Trophy Elite and three against United Arab Emirates in the 2011 Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Twenty20 Cup tournament.
Amrit missed the 2013 Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Emerging Teams Cup in Singapore in August 2013 and 2014 World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand in January 2014. He rode on his luck to find a place in the national team for the 2014 Interstate Commerce Commission World Twenty20 after all-rounder Prithu Baskota failed to prove his fitness just a week before leaving to the United Arab Emirates for training.
But he didn"t get to play a single match. He made his comeback for the team in the 2014 Interstate Commerce Commission World Cricket League Division Three, where he played four matches and picked up four wickets in the tournament.
He made his Twenty20 International debut for Nepal playing against Hong Kong in the Sri Lanka Tour in November 2014 where he also played a three-day match against Sri Lanka Cricket Combined XI.
