Namibia allrounder David Wiese announced his retirement from international cricket, stating that the final T20 World Cup 2024 group stage match against England would be his last.

In a rain-shortened match in North Sound, David Wiese was dismissed by Jofra Archer in the final over of Namibia's chase. Following his dismissal, Archer and other England players approached to shake his hand. As Wiese walked off, he raised his helmet and bat to acknowledge the crowd's applause. Upon reaching the dugout, he was warmly greeted by his teammates, including captain Gerhard Erasmus.

"I mean, [the next] T20 World Cup is still two years away, I'm 39 years old now, so , in terms of international cricket, I don't know if there's much left in me," Wiese said in the post match press conference.

"Obviously, I [would] still like to play the game for a couple more years, I feel like I've still got a lot to contribute and a lot to play," he said. "But I just feel like what better place to end a special career for me personally with Namibia. I've had a lot of good times with them and to play my last game for them possibly at a World Cup against a world-class team like England, it just seemed like the right time."
