Hi
The date of Finals seems to be incorrect. It is to be corrected from 24-Sep-23
Thanks
Hi,
Can anyone share why Tanzania (last year’s runner-up) and Nigeria aren’t playing in this tournament?
Hello Vikram
Tanzania Cricket Board and Africa Cricket Association have their own reasons for why Tanzania are not participating in the 2nd edition of T20 Africa Cup. As for Nigerian team, their Visas were not processed in time for them to travel for the tournament.
Thanks and regards,

Hello,
It would be better if Zimbabwe Namibia and RSA (even 2nd string) participated in this tournamemt and raise its profile like the Asia cup.
Why Namibia does not participate?
Hello
This event as of now is targeted for the Associate members in the region without ODI status (permanent/temporary). Whether it will be expanded later to include South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia is a decision the ACA (Africa Cricket Association) will take in the future.
Thanks and regards,
