Cricket Namibia has announced the launch of a T20 competition called Global T20 Namibia at home, starting on Thursday, September 1. The Namibia national team will take part in the tournament alongside South African domestic side Lions and Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars.
Initially, a young Bengal side, led by Abhimanyu Easwaran, were expected to be the fourth team in the competition. With the BCCI not giving NOC to the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), they will not participate in the tournament.
The event will be the perfect platform for Namibian players to hone their skills, with the T20 World Cup coming up in Australia later this year. After the series, the Namibia team will travel to Papua New Guinea for the CWC League 2 ODI tri-series in September 2022.
