Namibia tour of Zimbabwe 2022: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live streaming details
Zimbabwe and Namibia will lock horns in the five-match T20I bilateral series, starting on May 17, Tuesday, at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.
Zimbabwe Cricket Director Hamilton Masakadza has indicated that the men’s national team is all set for a busy schedule. They are currently preparing for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Global Qualifier B 2022 in July 2022.
Namibia will also have a busy schedule before the upcoming T20 World Cup. They are all set to host Jersey and USA in a tri-series at home in June 2022.
Speaking ahead of the Zimbabwe series, Namibian skipper Gerhard Erasmus has his say.
“We always knew that a big tournament like that (the 2021 T20 World Cup) would take a bit of its toll on us, and it's quite mentally draining physically, lots of pressure cricket, especially in the group stage.”
Erasmus added:
“You've got a long way to come back either by training or having to get out on the park to get to the level again of cricket that you’re required to be at. It is quite a journey and it’s quite mentally telling.”
He concluded:
“It's not really a place you want to be too often to come back. It’s mentally draining.”
