IND vs NAM: ICC in questions before the match against India, Namibian captain made serious allegations

Namibia Captain Gerhard Erasmus On Training Sessions: Namibia cricket team captain Gerhard Erasmus on Wednesday, February 11, took a dig at the organizers for not scheduling a training session under lights at night ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 match against India. The team played a day game against the Netherlands on Monday 9 February and both their training sessions over the next two days took place in broad daylight. On the other hand, India trained twice at night before the game.

Question on not getting training session in floodlight

Gerhard Erasmus said, ‘Yes, we have not been given a night training (session) before this game, I don’t know why. I think India have two night training sessions and I am looking out that Canada will now have night training, so make of it whatever you want, but we will just come and adopt our Namibian way, which is to fight.

Rest of the teams got facilities

Given that Namibia does not have the infrastructure for a day-night game in their country, he would have liked to spend some time under the lights before the India match on Thursday, February 12. Canada will play a match with UAE on Friday, February 13 in the afternoon at Delhi Ground, it trained with the Indian team at Feroze Shah Kotla. Erasmus knew this.

Challenge for Namibia

“We don’t have any (flood)lights in Namibia… day-night games,” said Erasmus. This is probably a challenge for us in terms of infrastructure, so yes, it is not a common thing for people who do not have (experience). I think except for people who play in Nepal Premier League and ILT20 and World Cup, you are not often used to training under lights and under lights.
