Oscar Nauhaus, the 38-year-old Namibia coach will take charge of the UAE Women’s National Team as the head coach from next month. With 10 years of coaching experience Nauhaus is expected to bring extraordinary value to the side.

Nauhaus during his tenure as the High-Performance Manager at Cricket Namibia worked with the young talent and development at the grassroots. Nauhaus’ background in Sport Science has been instrumental in the same. He helped individuals grow both on and off the field while creating positive environments in the squad.

Speaking on the same, Nauhaus said, “It is indeed a great honour to take charge of the incredibly talented UAE Women’s National Cricket Team that has produced some fantastic performances in recent times. UAE cricket is surely on the rise exemplified by the team’s fine performances in the Women’s Asia Cup.”

His international experience includes coaching Namibia’s U19 Men’s team to qualification for the 2024 ICC U19 Men’s World Cup and being part of the support staff of the Namibian national men’s team at the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. He also worked previously at Zayed Cricket Academy in Abu Dhabi and with Team Abu Dhabi in the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. His previous experience of cricket in the UAE is going to be advantage while working with the UAE women’s team.

Nauhaus added, “I am grateful to the Emirates Cricket Board for selecting me for this prestigious role. I am excited to start my stint and eagerly look forward to joining the team in Dubai. My aim will be to build further on the good work done by my predecessor and take the team to the next level.”
