Namibia Announces Squad for ICC T20 World Cup 2024
On Friday, May 10, 2024, Cricket Namibia announces squad for ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Right-hand batting all-rounder Gerhard Erasmus has been named as captain of the Namibia Cricket Team while bowling all-rounder JJ Smit was named as his deputy. Gehard Erasmus will captain Namibia for the third consecutive time in T20 World Cup in Namibia’s third consecutive appearance in T20 World Cups after the 2021 and 2022 T20 World Cups.
Cricket Namibia picks 12 players of their 15-member squad from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2023. Unfortunately, all-rounder Nicol Loftie-Eaton is the biggest omission from Namibia’s squad for T20 World Cup 2024 alongside young batter Shawn Fouche, Pikky, and Ya France. The 23-years old batter Nicol Loftie-Eaton makes the headlines in February 2024 by smashing the quickest T20I hundred against Nepal on 33 balls but he is ignored by the Cricket Namibia for the upcoming T20I World Cup selection.
Inexperienced left-arm fast bowler Ruben Trumpelmann, right-hand middle order batter Dylan Leicher, and young pacer Jack Brassell, who played in the ICC Men’s U-19 Cricket World Cup 2024, are the players who promotes to Namibia’s squad for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. These players did not feature in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament.
