The most recent development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the T20 World Cup match between Namibia and India is the strong criticism from Namibia's captain, Gerhard Erasmus, regarding the lack of night practice sessions under floodlights. As reported by Daily Qudrat on February 12, 2026, Erasmus expressed 'severe concern' over not being allowed to train at night, which he deemed crucial since the match against India is scheduled for the evening. Express News highlights that while Namibia was restricted to daytime practice, India had the advantage of two night training sessions, raising questions of fairness and preparation equity. Erasmus stated, 'I don't know why we weren't given a night training session, while India had two.' Furthermore, he pointed out that Canada was also granted a night session, adding to the perceived bias.
