David Wiese retired from international cricket following Namibia's loss to England in Antigua. Wiese began his career representing South Africa in 2013 before transitioning to Namibia in 2021 where he played a big role in their historic journey to the Super 12 stage during the 2021 ICC World T20.

England played their part to perfection in Antigua on Saturday to thrash Namibia by 41 runs in a 10-over contest after posting 122/5 on the board. The team's destiny now rests in Scotland's hands, given a win or no result against Australia would see them qualify for the Super 8 at England's expense.

The International Cricket Council on Tuesday named Gerhard Erasmus as the Associate cricketer of the year for his stellar showings with the bat in 2022 while also leading Namibia to new heights in the global game. Erasmus expressed gratitude for the honour while listing his highlights of the year.

The final group A encounter between Namibia and the UAE provided a thriller for the ages as the latter emerged triumphant to ensure the Netherlands a Super 12s spot. David Wiese almost pulled off the impossible singlehandedly with his explosive knock and was left devastated after the game.
