The team comprises promising players who have shown exceptional skills and determination in their journey to the U19 World Cup. The Namibia under-19 cricket team players list includes Alex Volschenk as the captain, leading a squad that showcases a mix of key batters, key bowlers, spin resources, pace bowlers, and all-rounders.
Key batters such as Gerhard Janse van Rensburg, Hansie de Villiers, and JW Visagie bring stability and firepower to the batting department. Their ability to build solid partnerships and accelerate the run rate will be crucial for the team’s success in the tournament. The team also possesses a strong bowling lineup, with Ben Brassell, Jack Brassell, and Henry van Wyk leading the pace attack.
