Namibia have been a regular member in Associates.They have missed out on qualification for ICC events in the past and once again they missed it today by the touching distance.There opening batsmen Stephen Baard is the highest run getter of this tournament.It was heartbreaking to see their cricketers cry after missing out on qualification.Giving T20I status to Namibia would only benefit cricket itself.Namibia have their U19 team qualify for WC for last few WCs and I think they are one of the emerging sides.
