Namibia beat Ireland in their final group match on Friday to qualify for Super 12s. 바카라Yeah, look, it바카라s time for us to reflect and also enjoy this moment, but we certainly didn바카라t come here just to go and lie down now,바카라 de Bruyn said.
바카라Facing India, Pakistan, New Zealand, those type of teams is going to be a great experience for these players, but you know, we want to be competitive in whatever we do, with ball, bat, in the field, the way we present ourselves, the way 바카라 we바카라re going to compete, so we바카라re looking forward to that.바카라
It is a significant achievement for a small country like Namibia which has a population of 25 lakh. However, the team has shown what it can do even with limited resources.
바카라We바카라ve made history now, advancing to the Super 12. First time ever we바카라re going to play against these guys in a T20 World Cup. We are going to enjoy the next 24 hours or so and then we바카라re going to sit down as a group again and we바카라re going to put some goals on the table,바카라 said de Bruyn.
Asked about the historic achievement, the coach said: 바카라Yes, we have. In 2019 April, that바카라s when we qualified and got our ODI status. That made a big difference. I had three contracts, full-time contracted players. That allowed me to get 16 full-time contracted players, just that ODI status, and that gave us the opportunity to build.
바카라But when it comes to the normal resources if you measure yourself against full members, we바카라re way off in terms of our facilities, full-time coaches, full-time SNCs, doctors, all of that. But we바카라ve got a saying that we바카라ve got to find a way.바카라
De Bruyn feels it is important to make the best of opportunities at the big stage.
바카라As a coach myself, I바카라ve really made sure that the players and us as a group, we just use our opportunities. We don바카라t have everything, but these times like we바카라re sitting here winning a cricket game knowing that we바카라re going to the next World Cup.
바카라We know financially it makes a difference and we can upscale and we can invest a little bit more in our resources,바카라 he added.
