The 2021 Namibia Tri-Nation Series was the 8th round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament that took place in Namibia in November and December 2021.[1][2] It was a tri-nation series between Namibia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates cricket teams, with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[3] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[4][5] Two matches that were postponed during the 4th round in January 2020 were added to the schedule of this series.[6] JJ Smit was named as Namibia's captain for the series, after regular captain Gerhard Erasmus was ruled out after breaking a finger during the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[7]
Namibia and Oman played each other in the opening two fixtures, with each team winning one match.[8] However, just prior to the start of the series, a new variant of the COVID-19 virus was discovered in southern Africa,[9] resulting in the remaining fixtures being called off.[10]
