Raymond Van Schoor, who played for his country more than 200 times, passes away after collapsing during a match.
Namibia international Raymond Van Schoor has died at the age of 25, five days after he collapsed during a match in the capital Windhoek.

"On behalf of Cricket Namibia, I express my most sincere condolences to the entire Van Schoor and La Cock families. "Raymond was a tremendous asset to Cricket Namibia and the National Cricket Team.
