Namibia Squad for ICC Men’s T20I World Cup

Namibia is ready with their squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20I World Cup 2024.

Namibia is entering the ICC Men’s T20I World Cup under the captaincy of a talented player – Gerhard Erasmus. The all-rounder is leading the team and looking forward to leaving a mark in international T20I cricket.

Erasmus is a promising captain who can lead the team to improve their experience and pace from their performance in the ICC Men’s T20I World Cup Africa Qualifier, where Namibia was undefeated on home soil.

JJ Smit is assisting Erasmus as a Vice-Captain. This duo looks promising and is expected to bring out some great news for the team in the upcoming World Cup.

12 players out of a total of 15 presented exceptional performances in the qualifiers and managed to enter the squad.

All-rounder Nicol Loftie-Eaton is not a part of the squad, who holds the record for scoring the fastest T20I century in men’s international cricket. Nicol scored a century in just 33 balls against Nepal.

Here’s the complete Namibia squad for T20 World Cup-

Gerhard Erasmus (c), Zane Green, Michael Van Lingen, Dylan Leicher, Ruben Trumpelmann, Jack Brassell, Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungameni, Niko Davin, JJ Smit, Jan Frylinck, JP Kotze, David Wiese, Bernard Scholtz, Malan Kruger, PD Blignaut.

The authorities’ decision to go with the core players puts light on the importance of the trust among the players who secured their position in the World Cup.

Namibia is placed in Group B, along with England, Australia, Scotland, and Oman. The African team is playing their first match against Oman at the Kensington Oval, followed by contests against Scotland, Australia, and England.

This chain of contests is a challenge to the Namibia squad for the T20 World Cup. It would be exciting to witness how this emerging cricket team would be able to make a strong impression at the global level.

With the captaincy of Gerhard Eramus, and presence of experienced players, and young energy would help Namibia to perform with confidence against renowned teams.
