Namibia has named a 15-member squad for the men\u2019s T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in India and Sri Lanka in February and March next year. The selection highlights a focus on youth, with five players included who have fewer than 10 international matches. The squad combines developing talent with the stability offered by senior members such as captain Gerhard Erasmus, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Zane Green, Bernard Scholtz, Jan Frylinck, JJ Smit, Malan Kruger, and Ruben Trumpelmann.<\/p>\n
The batting unit features top-order batter Louren Steenkamp, who has a strike rate of 126.85 over seven T20Is, providing an aggressive option at the top. The inclusion of young middle-order batters Jan Balt, Dylan Leicher, and Willem Myburgh reflects Namibia\u2019s emphasis on long-term planning and depth in the squad.<\/p>\n
The pace attack will be spearheaded by 20-year-old Jack Brassell, who brings experience from nine ODIs and 18 T20Is. Brassell is supported by Ben Shikongo, who has played 23 ODIs and 40 T20Is, and whose performance in the qualifier win over Tanzania was notable. Max Heingo, who debuted in Namibia\u2019s historic T20I win over South Africa in October<\/a>, adds further strength to the pace options.<\/p>\n Jan Frylinck and Ruben Trumpelmann bring significant experience to the bowling lineup, offering balance and reliability. The selection of Alexander Busing-Volschenk as the lone travelling reserve increases squad flexibility ahead of the tournament.<\/p>\n
