The South Africa Women’s Emerging Academy team will tour Namibia to play seven white-ball matches between July 2 and 12, at the High Performance Oval in Windhoek. The tour includes four T20 matches and five one-day encounters.
The series will serve as a testing ground for Namibia ahead of the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier, scheduled to be held between August and September this year.
Namibia head coach Francois van der Merwe expressed his excitement at facing South Africa. He believes the series will help his players develop skills across all departments.
“The Capricorn Eagles are very excited to test their skill development in all departments of the game against a very strong South Africa Emerging Academy team.

“The aim of the series is to gain important game time for the Capricorn Eagles ahead of the upcoming Africa T20 World Cup Qualifiers at the end of August, which Cricket Namibia will host at their new world-class facility. I would like to see consistency in our execution with both bat and ball during the SA Emerging Academy series,” he was quoted as saying in a press release.
CSA Head of High Performance Grant van Velden, on the other hand, said the South Africa Women’s Emerging Tour will help provide the youngsters some crucial international exposure before graduating to the next level.
“The Namibia tour reflects our commitment to holistic player development. These tours are crucial in providing our emerging players with consistent international exposure, which is essential for their transition to the senior level," said in a press release ahead of the series.
Namibia hosted Uganda Women in a six-match T20I series earlier this year. The trophy was shared between the two nations after both teams won three matches apiece.
