Capricorn Group has urged the Namibia national women’s cricket team to perform to the best of their abilities during their recent assignments.
The group said this at the official sending off of the team that jetted to Rwanda yesterday.
Capricorn and Cricket Namibia also announced a partnership which will focus on the national women’s team.
The team will be playing in a tournament which serves as a build-up and preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Africa qualifiers.
“Today, we are sending off Namibia’s national women’s cricket team to the Women’s Kwibuka Tournament scheduled to take place in Kigali, Rwanda.
“We are proud to announce that we have entered into an agreement with Cricket Namibia to become a main sponsor of women’s cricket with a specific focus on the national women’s team – the Eagles – as well as the girls’ festivals/tournaments and school league to further develop girls’ programmes,” Marlize Horn, the group’s executive of brand and corporate affairs, said.
Making an impact
The official announcement of the partnership between Capricorn Group and Cricket Namibia as well as details on the sponsorship agreement will be shared at an official event when the team returns from Rwanda.
“To Francois van der Merwe, the head coach, and the rest of the team, we wish you safe travels and a successful tournament. We look forward to seeing you carrying the Namibian flag with pride on and off field and making an impact on the world stage.
“Ladies, you have much to look forward to, and Capricorn is very proud to support you in international cricket. Good luck!” Horn said.
The competition in Rwanda commences on Monday as Namibia battles against Nigeria and Kenya in a group, while the other group sees Uganda, Botswana and Rwanda clashing in T20 matches for the top final places.
Namibia will first play Nigeria on 7 June before they battle Kenya on 8 June and Nigeria on 10 June.
The team will then play Kenya again on 11 June.
