Namibia all-rounder named ICC Men's Associate Cricketer of the Year

Gerhard Erasmus produced an impressive level of consistency throughout the calendar year in both One Day International and T20 International cricket, scoring eight half-centuries and frequently delivering in the Namibia middle order with the bat.

And the 29-year-old was a constant threat with his steady off-breaks, starting the year with a five-for against Nepal in Kirtipur and picking up important wickets throughout 2024.

Erasmus performed admirably on an individual level for Namibia at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, scoring a quality half-century against Scotland and lighting up the super over in his team’s solitary win against Oman.

And Erasmus showed his ability to mix it against the highest level of opponentsl when he held his own in a heavy defeat to Australia. The skipper was one of only two Namibia players to reach double figures, and his 36 from 43 balls was far and away the leading effort with the bat as his team posted 72 in 17 overs.
