The controversy surrounding the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 has intensified as Namibia's captain, Gerhard Erasmus, publicly criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) for not allowing his team a night training session before their crucial match against India. According to TechJuice, Erasmus expressed his frustration, stating, 'We haven't had a night training session before this game — I'm not sure why. I believe India has had two night sessions. You can make of that what you want.' This sentiment was echoed across multiple sources, including Geo Sport and India Today, which highlighted the perceived unfair advantage given to India, who had two night practice sessions, while Namibia was restricted to daytime practice slots. The Hindu reported Erasmus's determination to 'rock up and do it the Namibian way, which is to fight,' despite the challenges posed by the lack of night practice.
