WCQ: We want to play the best of cricket, Nigeria captain says

Posted : 24 November 2024

Sylvester Okpe, captain of Nigeria’s senior cricket team, said the team is optimistic about securing a qualification spot but wants to play the best cricket.


Okpe, speaking at a news conference ahead of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup Sub-Regional Africa Qualifier in Abuja, noted that the team has had adequate preparations ahead of the tournament.

“We have worked hard and prepared well enough for this tournament.


“Our participation in the African Games in Ghana in March and the tour in Kenya have put us in good shape and form.


“We are positive and optimistic about securing a qualification spot, but above all, we just want to play the best cricket,” Okpe said.


Okpe urged fans to come and support the team as they look to secure one of the two available slots for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier next year.


“We are the highest-ranked team by the ICC in the tournament at 36th, but we are not underrating any side.


“We will play to the best of our skill and ability and hope that fans will come and support us,” Okpe said.


Eswatini, Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Saint Helena, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria will compete at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium from Saturday to Thursday.
