Namibia Cricket to host Netherlands and Canada for ODI Tri-series in March 2025

Cricket Namibia (CN) will be hosting the Men’s National teams from Netherlands and Canada for an ODI Tri-series from March 03rd – 16th , 2025, which will be the tenth (10th) round of the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cycle (Qualification pathway tournament towards 2027 CWC Global Qualifier). Top four (4) after completion of 36 ODIs for all in the CWC League 2 Championship will qualify directly for 2027 Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier (CWCQ). Bottom four (4) teams in the points table will then compete in CWC Qualifier Play-off tournament, along with four (4) teams from the Challenge League competitions (Top 2 teams from both groups) for four (4) spots in CWCQ.

While Netherlands Men wouldn’t be staying in Namibia after the conclusion of the ODI Tri-series, the host’s and Canada teams will play five (5) T20Is after the Tri-series. As per the original Men’s Associate FTP, T20Is were scheduled as part of each Tri-series in the CWC League 2 ODI Championship, but it depends on the participating boards on their own arrangements, as it is not part of ICC funding.
