South Africa have announced their squad for a historic one-off T20I against Namibia, set to take place on October 11 in Windhoek to officially open Namibia’s new cricket ground. Donovan Ferreira will lead South Africa in this first-ever meeting between the two teams.
Middle-order Batter, Donovan Ferreira, who has played eight T20Is for South Africa, will lead the team against Namibia. Head coach Shukri Conrad said he was impressed by Donovan’s maturity, his understanding of the game, and the way he connects with younger players during the T20I series against England.
