Ireland’s cricket captain William Porterfield said that the variation in their team could be the key to defeating Namibia, according to an International Cricket Council (ICC) press release.
Speaking ahead of Friday’s crucial ICC Intercontinental Cup match in Windhoek, Porterfield said Namibia would be a tough nut to crack but if his players performed to their potential he was confident of victory.
“We have pretty much a full-strength squad, which is a great boost for us,” said the 24-year-old from Donemana in Ireland’s north-west.
