Cricket is a sport for life with the goal of providing maximum opportunities for people to participate in the game of cricket for as long as they wish.
The Over 40s League is a platform initiated by Cricket Namibia to accommodate 40 years and older cricket lovers to keep playing the game. The Over 40s League aims to develop veterans cricket and identify players who can represent Namibia in the future Over 50s World Cups.
Cricket Namibia participated in the Over 50 World Cup as an invitational side this year in Cape Town, of which CN saw the need to create a local platform, the Over 40s cricket competition. This will be a platform that will develop and prepare players for international cricket opportunities.
This will be a franchise format where players will be drafted into different teams, and sponsors will have an opportunity to own teams.
This initiative will be an open draft format made available for interested individuals to be part of the league. All interested 40 years and older cricket lovers may visit our website to register and be part of the Over 40s League https://www.cricketnamibia.com/clubs/over-40s-cricket/.
The Over 40 League will be a four-team competition whereby the first round will take place on the 5th and 6th December 2020, and the second round on the 30th and 31st January 2021.
