Landmark moment: Cricket Namibia announce maiden central contracts for Women’s team
Delighted at the announcement, CEO of Cricket Namibia Johan Muller said: “For the first time, we have been able to professionalise the women’s game. This is a significant moment for sports in the country. It’s the first time ladies have been signed on contracts where cricket is their occupation.
“Ten ladies now have the opportunity to support their households by pursuing their passion. We want to thank Capricorn Group and everyone involved.”
The Capricorn Eagles are currently ranked 17th in the ICC Women’s T20I Team Rankings, which is also their best-ever position.
Since receiving T20I status from the ICC in 2018, Namibia has participated in 72 T20I matches, winning 44 of them. In 2019, they represented the Africa region in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier but did not advance to the main event in 2020.
