JC Balt will captain the squad, supported by a mix of experienced and emerging talent: Zacheo van Vuuren, Dylan Leicher, Adriaan Coetzee, Dian Neethling, Handre Klazinga, Jan Izak De Villiers, Jack Brassell, PD Blignaut, Simon Shikongo, Junior Kariata, Liam Basson, and Max Heingo.
The team is led by Head Coach Oscar Nauhaus, with Craig Williams as assistant coach, Justin Kemp as bowling coach, and Hestelle Spies managing the team.
The opening match sees Namibia A take on Uganda A on 17 July at 10:00 AM, followed by a series of high-stakes fixtures leading up to the final games on 27 July.
