Cricket Namibia (CN) CEO Johan Muller has told Helge Schutz from The Namibian about the extensive calendar of events being chalked out for the Namibian Men’s national squad for 2022 and a massive development is about the formation of the “A” squad and a host of matches at home during April – June.
The “A” side will be used to develop the bench strength for the Men’s national squad, and during some of their scheduled matches, some of the national squad members will also play in the team. The first home series will be held from 18th March – 05th April, when Namibia A/Namibia take on the Ireland Wolves squad in three T20 matches and five 50-over matches.
This will be followed by the arrival of Uganda Men’s squad, for a series of three T20Is and two 50-over matches against Namibia/Namibia A, while Hong Kong will tour Namibia in June for another series of three 50-over matches against Namibia. Apart from the domestic competitions, these tours at home is the ideal platform for other domestic players to press their selection into the national squad core group.
