Namibia have declared the squad of the U-19 team who will play in the World Cup Qualifiers. One shocking name amongst them is Faf du Plessis, who is the captain of the team. We all know South Africa's legendary cricketer Faf de Plessis, but this is a 17-year-old cricketer who is a right-hand batter. The young Du Plessis hasn't played any international games yet but is an amazing batter.
He will be leading Namibia in the Divison 1 Qualifiers against Tanzania, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Nigeria. Their first game will start on March 28 against Nigeria. The matches will happen in Lagos, Nigeria. The winner of this group will be the representative of the African Continent in the U-19 World Cup 2026.

Delhi Capitals announce their vice-captain for IPL 2025
For the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Delhi Capitals (DC) have announced that Axar Patel will lead the team while Faf du Plessis will be his deputy. DC have a strong side and have a high chance of winning the tournament as well. However, everything will depend on their players and how they manage to perform throughout the tournament.
The main issue with DC is that they lose the early games and then struggle to find a spot in the playoffs. This year, they'll have to target the initial games and start winning. Moreover, Axar Patel's captaincy will be tested as well. He is the vice-captain of the Indian team in the T20Is.
