But Namibia is going to play in the T20 World Cup without him. This hard-hitting batsman did not get a chance in the tournament held in the West Indies and the United Kingdom. Cricket Namibia has announced a 16-member team, excluding him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The African country officially announced the World Cup team on Friday, May 10. Lofty-Eaton&#8217;s absence was surprising. Why not? ESPN Cricinfo tried to find the answer to this question. According to them, this left-handed batsman was not called to the team due to breaking party discipline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In February this year, Lofty-Eaton set the record for the fastest T20I century by scoring a century off 33 balls. He was then sent back to the country before the semi-finals for breaching rules at the African Games in March. The 23-year-old cricketer has been out of the team ever since.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no change in Namibia&#8217;s squad this year. They have kept 10 players who played in the previous World Cup on this team. As always, Gerard Erasmus will lead Namibia in this World Cup. The team played under his leadership in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Namibia is in the &#8216;B&#8217; group along with Australia, England, Scotland, and Oman in the T20 Bishop&#8217;s Cup this year. The African team will start their World Cup campaign with a match against Oman on June 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Namibia World Cup squad: Gerard Erasmus (captain), Jane Green, Michael von Lingen, Dylan Lichter, Ruben Trumpelman, Jacques Brassel, Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungameni, Nico Devine, JJ Schmidt, John Frylink, JP Kotze, David Visa, Bernard Schulz, Malan Kruger, and PD Blignut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports Desk: Jan Nicole Lofty-Eaton of Namibia is the fastest centurion in international T20.
