Cricket World Cup League: Regular skipper Gerhard Erasmus is set to pass on the leadership duties of Namibia, with all-rounder JJ Smit appointed captain of the side for next month’s ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series, which will be hosted in Windhoek and feature Oman and Scotland.

The tri-series will see the three participating teams compete across six matches starting April 2, forming part of the ongoing League 2 cycle. At present, Namibia occupy sixth position on the League 2 table and will be eager to capitalise on home conditions to improve their standing and remain within reach of the top four teams in the competition.

At the conclusion of this phase, the top four teams in the standings will secure qualification for the main pathway tournament leading into the next ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
