JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Cricket Namibia are excited to announce a historic one-off T20 International (T20I) between the Namibia Eagles and the Proteas Men, set to take place at the FNB Namibia Cricket Ground (NCG) in Windhoek on 11 October.

This encounter will mark the first-ever international match between the two national senior sides – a significant milestone for African cricket.

It will also serve as the official opening of the FNB NCG, which also will be a host venue for the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2026 and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2027.

CSA Chief Executive Officer, Pholetsi Moseki commented: “We are honoured to be part of this historic occasion. Namibia are a competitive side, and this fixture reflects the growing strength of cricket on the continent.

“As a fellow African cricketing nation and the host of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, we are proud to support the official opening of this new cricket ground which will be one of the host venues of the tournament.”

Cricket Namibia Chief Executive Officer, Johan Muller added: “This truly is a memorable occasion.

The new FNB NCG has been a dream for the last four years and has finally materialized. A match against our neighbours, and one of the top cricketing countries in the world, is the perfect way to open this world class facility.

“I want to thank CSA and specifically their CEO, Pholetsi Moseki, for agreeing to this match. We look forward to hosting the Proteas Men’s team and to partner with CSA in hosting the ICC Men’s World Cup in 2027.”

Namibia vs South Africa – FNB Namibia Cricket Ground, Windhoek

Eddie Barlow (born 1940) – 44 internationals, 45.62 average, 211 high score, ten centuries, 80 wickets, 28.29 average, 7-64 best, four five-wicket innings, 30 official Tests: He is one of my favourite cricketers, a whole-hearted competition and a genuine all-rounder. His batting average is probably close to accurate. He was a boom-or-bust, hit-or-miss kind of batsman. He was an outstanding pace bowler in first-class cricket, but had fewer opportunities at Test level.

  2. New Zealand has produced many rugby legends, including Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, and Jonah Lomu. Richie McCaw, a former All Blacks captain, is widely regarded as one of the greatest rugby players of all time, having played in 148 test matches and leading the team to two Rugby World Cup victories. Dan Carter, a fly-half, holds the record for the highest points scorer in international rugby.
