Willem Myburgh

Willem Myburgh is a rising right-arm fast bowler and right-handed batter who has recently made his transition into the Namibian national setup. Born in December 2000, Myburgh developed his skills within the South African domestic system, representing Easterns before earning a call-up to the Namibian side. Standing as a promising addition to the 'Richelieu Eagles' pace battery, he is recognized for his ability to generate significant pace and his technical discipline, qualities that have made him a regular feature for the NPL Bears in Namibia’s domestic competitions.

Myburgh made his international debut during the 2023-2027 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 in August 2025, featuring against Canada. As of early 2026, he is viewed as a vital part of Namibia’s long-term bowling strategy, providing a fresh seam option to complement the experienced pace attack led by veterans like Ruben Trumpelmann and JJ Smit. His inclusion in the national squad for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup highlights the selectors' confidence in his potential to compete at the highest level. With his classical fast-bowling action and growing experience in high-pressure environments, Myburgh is poised to become a staple of the Namibian defense on the global stage.
