Earlier, Qalandars had agreed to participate in a four-team tournament involving hosts Namibia, India's Bengal and a team from South Africa (name to be announced soon) in Namibia.

However, Bengal have withdrawn from the Global T20 Namibia tournament. The reason is BCCI's refusal to allow Indian cricketers to take part in a T20 tournament outside India.
