Cricket history will be made in 2025 when Namibia hosts Assam for a groundbreaking five-match one-day series. This unique encounter promises valuable exposure for emerging talents from both nations. Leading the Assam charge will be IPL sensation Riyan Parag, fresh off a stellar season and riding high in India's limited-overs reckoning.

Riyan Parag To Lead Assam Against Namibia

Parag captains a balanced Assam squad blending youthful promise with seasoned campaigners. Key players include consistent domestic performers Denish Das, Akash Sengupta, and Parvej Musaraf, who are ready to support their high-profile skipper.

Namibia counters with a formidable unit under the leadership of Gerhard Erasmus. Their strength lies in powerful all-rounders like JJ Smit and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton. Having proven their competitiveness in recent ICC events, particularly on home soil, Namibia will be a tough challenge for the visiting Assamese side.

As per a report from X user @Merovaeous "Namibia is set to host Assam Cricket Association for 5 - 50 over match series at the FNB Cricket Ground, Windhoek. Prior to this, the Namibian cricket team also played 50 over match series against Punjab and Karnatakka as well."
