Emeka Igwilo, the General Manager of the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF), said the team arrived early to acclimatize to the Nigerian weather ahead of the tournament.  


Igwilo, who also serves as the Tournament Director, stated that plans are in place to ensure a successful event for all teams.  


“With the arrival of Saint Helena, we are now expecting Botswana, Eswatini, and two other West African neighbors, Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone, to join Nigeria later in the week.  


“Our team has worked diligently to ensure the facilities are in top shape, and we look forward to great matches at the NCF twin ovals.  


“Over 200 players, officials, and ad-hoc workers will be involved throughout the week in an event that places Nigeria at the center stage of global cricket action,” he said.  


The opening match of the 15-game qualifier will feature Eswatini against Botswana at Oval 1 of the NCF Cricket Pitch on November 23.  


Nigeria’s first game will be against Saint Helena on Oval 2 later in the afternoon of the same day.  


Out of the six teams participating in the qualifiers, the top two will advance to the next round of qualification.
