This will be the first ICC CWL 2 Tri-Series we host in Namibia. We are proud to bring this high-level content into the country. The 50-Over competition is extremely important for us since it impacts future funding. We would like to invite the public to support the team and join us at the Wanderers Sports ground.<\/p>\n

The Eagles Captain, Gerhard Erasmus will not be part of the squad following his injury at a T20 World Cup warmup game which led him to play in the tournament with a broken finger.
