Zimbabwe tour to Namibia postponed

The two teams were to play four T20Is and three 50-over matches in what was to be head coach Francois van der Merwe’s first assignment with the Namibia side. However, the unforeseen circumstances owing to the pandemic has meant that the tour will have to wait.

“Winning against Zimbabwe is important to us and we intend to field our best team on match-day,” van der Merwe had said when the series was announced late last year.
