T20 World Cup: Erasmus Named Captain As Namibia Name Squad; Loftie-Eaton Left Out

T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier: Talented all-rounder Gerhard Erasmus has been named captain as Namibia revealed their squad for next month's ICC Men's T20 World Cup. However, what has come as a surprise for many is that the African side has left out in-form all-rounder Nicol Loftie-Eaton out of their squad for the T20 World Cup.

Erasmus will lead an experienced group that qualified for the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup courtesy of an unbeaten run at last year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier on home soil with JJ Smit named vice-captain.

Twelve of the 15 players that featured in that impressive run during qualifying have once again won selection in Namibia's 15-player squad, with all-rounder Nicol Loftie-Eaton the biggest omission alongside veteran Pikky Ya France and young batter Shawn Fouche.
