Following a competitive series of trials, the selectors have announced the squad that will participate in the ICC U-19 CWC in Australia.

Coach Doug Watson commented on the squad announcement "It's an exciting squad, and one that was selected with one objective in mind, qualifying for the super eights.

"We have guys that can play different roles for us, and that will be crucial at certain times," Watson said.

Namibia's first five matches at the U-19 CWC will be against Full Test Nations. These include warm-up matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe and the Pool D matches against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

In order for Namibia to reach the playoff rounds, it would need to end second in their pool.

This would require at least two out of three wins. This is a tough assignment, but Namibia has always been competitive in international tournaments.
