Richelieu Eagles resume play in CWC League 2 games against Nepal & Netherlands

The Richelieu Eagles have arrived in Katmandu, Nepal to compete in four ICC Men’s CWC League 2
games and four T20I games against the Netherlands and Nepal. The ODI games are part of the
pathway towards the World Cup, which is scheduled to be co-hosted by Namibia, Zimbabwe, and
South Africa in 2027.
The three countries are set to participate in the forthcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, slated to be
jointly hosted by the USA and the West Indies. Consequently, they will capitalize on the chance to play
T20I matches as part of their preparation for the big stage, which is four months away.

One notable addition to the squad is Ruben Trumpelmann, who is joining the team after missing two
tours that were hosted in Namibia due to injury. Another exciting inclusion in the squad is youngster
Jack Brassell. Brassell had an impressive performance in the 2024 ICC Men’s U19 World Cup in South
Africa, and he has once again been selected to represent Namibia, this time in Nepal.

The Namibian squad for the tour includes Gerhard Erasmus as the captain, with Zane Green as the
wicketkeeper. JJ Smit will serve as the vice-captain, while players like Michael van Lingen, Nicol LoftieEaton, Shaun Fouche, Ben Shikongo, Jan Frylinck, Niko Davin, Tangeni Lungameni, Bernard Scholtz, JP Kotze, and Malan Kruger complete the squad.

With a courageous Eagles squad, fans and cricket enthusiasts can watch the games live on ICC Tv.
