Before their T20 World Cup 2026 game against India, Namibia’s captain Gerhard Erasmus raised an unusual concern about their team’s preparation ahead of the big fixture
Namibia had limited practice opportunities, all in daylight, while India trained under lights before the match, despite it being a night fixture
Erasmus questioned why his team wasn’t given even a single night session, especially when others like India and Canada had that opportunity
The skipper explained that Namibia lacks the floodlit infrastructure back home, so training under lights before big games is crucial but rare for them
Despite the disadvantage and unusual schedule, Erasmus vowed that his team would come out fighting “the Namibian way” when they take on India
Namibia kicked off their campaign with a loss to Netherlands and now face fellow Group A opponents USA and Pakistan making every preparation matter
