This series will start in November this year. Currently both the teams are participating in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. All cricket fans are very happy that once again a fierce cricket clash will be seen between India and South Africa. However, regarding this tour, recently Namibia’s captain Gerhard Erasmus has appealed to the Indian board on social media to play warm-up matches against them in their capital city Windhoek. Erasmus is confident that if the Board of Control for Cricket in India agrees to his appeal, then the level of cricket in the country will also increase significantly. The Proteas man confirmed the tour on his official social media account, on which the Namibia captain wrote, ‘Hey @BCCI, warm-up match in Windhoek?’ Here is the tweet: Hey @BCCI warm-up in Windhoek? — Gerhard Erasmus (@gerharderasmus) June 21, 2024 Talking about Namibia, the team was eliminated from the group stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The team has many good players who have made their mark in international cricket. Let us tell you, in the upcoming tour, a four-match T20 series will be played between India and South Africa. The first match will be played in Durban on November 8. The remaining three T20s will be held in Gqeberha, Centurion and Johannesburg. This series will end by November 15. Before this series, the Indian team will play a match against New Zealand at home which will conclude by November 5. It seems very difficult for the Indian team to play a warm-up match against Namibia. Now it remains to be seen whether the Board of Control for Cricket in India agrees to this appeal of Gerhard Erasmus or not. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
