Ben Shikongo is a rising right-arm fast bowler known for his raw pace, bounce, and aggressive approach with the ball. Wearing jersey number 33, he is one of the youngest pace bowlers in Namibia’s senior team but has already made a significant impact with some fiery spells in international T20s. Shikongo brings excitement and unpredictability to the Namibian attack. He made headlines during the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup with a sensational double-wicket over, which showcased his potential to dismantle top-order batting line-ups. His action is smooth, and he consistently bowls at a brisk pace with the ability to seam and swing the ball. He thrives on rhythm and is especially dangerous during powerplays. Off the field, Ben is humble, hard-working, and dedicated to improving his craft. He is viewed as a long-term pace spearhead for Namibia and is already learning under the mentorship of senior players like David Wiese and Ruben Trumpelmann. If nurtured well, Shikongo has the potential to become one of the finest fast bowlers to ever come from Namibia.
