A right-arm leg spin bowler, Lamichhane has played for Twenty20 franchise sides around the world, including the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL), and the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). He is Nepal's highest wicket taker in ODIs and T20Is.

Lamichhane made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against the West Indies, where he represented a World XI side. He became the first cricketer to make a T20 international debut representing a combined team. Lamichhane was one of the eleven cricketers to play in Nepal's first One Day International (ODI) match, against the Netherlands, in August 2018. In December 2021, Lamichhane was named the captain of Nepal national cricket team by Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), replacing Gyanendra Malla.

On 8 September 2022, Lamichhane was removed as captain after he was accused of rape by a minor. Later, the Supreme Court of Nepal allowed him to continue to play as part of the Nepali national cricket team as per the request of CAN, citing "no person is guilty unless proven". In December 2023, the Kathmandu District Court convicted him of rape, although the court decided that the victim was not a minor at the time of the incident. In January 2024, he was sentenced to eight years in prison.
