Dubai, Nov 21 (IBNS) The International Cricket Council has expressed its shock and sadness at the passing of Namibia's wicketkeeper-batsman Raymond Van Schoor, who died on Friday (November 20), aged 25.

“On behalf of the ICC, I express my sincere sorrow and condolences to Raymond’s family and friends, as well as all those involved in Namibia cricket,” he said.
