Injury-hit Namibia announce WCL squad

Namibia have included Sean Silver in their 14-man squad for the WCL which starts on November 24. A host of injuries - seven in total - narrowed down the selectors' options, which means an opportunity for Silver, who has only one first-class match to his name but has impressed at Under-19 level.

The injured players are Louis Burger, Dawid Botha, Burton van Rooy, Morne Engelbrecht, ST Ackermann, Gareth Cloete and Wilbur Slabber. Bjorn Kotze leads a side which includes his brother Deon, who did well upon recall against Canada, for the matches which are in Namibia.

It has been hot and very dry in Windhoek recently, with the administrators hoping for some rain to help the outfields. Weather forecasts suggest their luck could be in.

Squad Jan-Berrie Burger, Deon Kotze, Bjorn Kotze  (capt), Nicolaas Scholtz, Gerrie Snyman, Kola Burger, Ian van Zyl, Toby Verwey, Louis Klazinga, Sarel Burger, Michael Durand, Raymond van Schoor, Sean Silver, LP van der Westhuizen.
