Cricket Nam hosts camp
SPORT REPORTER
WINDHOEK
Cricket Namibia is currently hosting a five-day national women’s camp at the JC Sports indoor training facility in Windhoek, which is owned by Eagles player, Craig Williams.
The camp, which kicked off on Monday, 18 January, will come to an end tomorrow.
The national squad is made up of 14 players from Windhoek and the coast.
Women’s cricket head coach, Francois van der Merwe, said he is happy and confident with the selected squad.
The training sessions during the camp include net-facing, left-arm spin (strike rotation), one-on-one with a bowling machine, batting skills, bowling skills, and fielding.
Mental health is said to be vital and the players, therefore, have a daily session where they focus on how to be better athletes.
These include how to deal with fear, boost confidence, mental strength, and setting and achieving goals.

“It is fortunate that the squad can still practice with the current Covid-19 regulations, and training at JC Sports has been convenient, especially with the unpredictable weather.
“The girls are starting to hit the balls harder and bowling faster. It was great to have input from Craig Williams on their performance and training sessions,” Van der Merwe said.
The selected players are: Irené van Zyl (captain), Yasmeen Khan (wicketkeeper), Adri van der Merwe, Kayleen Green, Suné Wittmann, Sylvia Shihepo, Arassta Diergaardt, Wilka Mwatile, Mekelanye Mwatile, Reehana Khan, Shiomwenyo Namusha, Didi Foerster, Victoria Hamunyela and Phia Gerber.
“It is great to have all 14 payers together for the first time at the same place, and we believe that they are the ultimate 14 players set to represent Namibia.”
