Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus has reacted to the news of India touring South Africa for a four-match T20I series in November by tagging BCCI and suggesting they should also land in Windhoek for warm-up matches ahead of the series.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) and BCCI on Friday, June 21 announced the schedule for the series which will kick off at the Kingsmead Stadium on Friday, November 8. The series will conclude with the fourth T20I at Wanderers on November 15. The second and third T20Is would be played on November 10 (St George’s Park) and November 13 (SuperSport Park) respectively.

"Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are delighted to confirm the scheduling of yet another thrilling KFC T20 International (T20I) series, which will see India traveling to South Africa in November 2024. Tickets go on sale on 19 August," CSA said in their post.

Gerhard Erasmus, who recently led Namibia in the T20 World Cup 2024, reacted to the post and wrote, "Hey @BCCI, warm-up in Windhoek?"

Namibia were placed in Group B alongside Australia, England, Scotland and Oman. They won their first match against Oman, but lost the remaining three matches in the group.

India and Namibia have played just one T20I match against each other till date. They met at the T20 World Cup 2021 as India defeated Namibia by nine wickets.

India would be touring Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka after the T20 World Cup 2024, before hosting Bangladesh in September. New Zealand will also travel to India for a 3-Test series in October-November. India are scheduled to tour Australia for a five-Test series starting November 22.
