The Namibia women’s cricket team is set to engage in a four-match friendly series against Assam, commencing on January 8. This series is part of a reciprocal agreement between the Assam Cricket Association and Cricket Namibia. The matches will include two 50-over games and two T20 matches, taking place from January 8 to January 11 at MSA Stadium, Mangaldai, and the ACA Cricket Academy Ground, Fulung, North Guwahati.
“This international series signifies a significant moment for Assam cricket, enhancing sporting ties between India and Namibia, and providing a platform for players to showcase their skills and sportsmanship,” stated ACA Secretary Sanatan Das. The Assam Cricket Association eagerly anticipates hosting this series, promoting the essence of international cricket and nurturing enduring sports relations between the two cricket bodies.
According to the schedule outlined by the ACA, the Namibian women’s team will arrive in Guwahati on January 6, with a practice session and rest day scheduled for January 7 before the series kick-off. The series will commence with a 50-over match on January 8, followed by the second ODI on the subsequent day. The T20 matches are slated for January 10 and 11, with the Namibian team departing for home on January 12.
In previous sporting exchanges, a 15-member Assam senior men’s squad toured Namibia for a five-match 50-over series from June 18 to July 1, 2025. Additionally, a 14-member Assam senior women’s team visited Malaysia for a five-game 50-over series from July 5-16 in the preceding year.
