Why can't they just let WI host the whole tournament?

Precisely my thought.... They need that business more than anyone else. The team doesn't have a primary sponsor

If this was to happen, I'd expect it's to do with money and that by hosting in England the TV rights might get a boost.

Does someone have any backstory as to why an Indian Domestic team is suddenly in Namibia, playing a series against it's national team??

They've had some Pakistan teams over before, potentially the only way of getting some good match practice.
Namibia chased 360 in a List A game. Definitely encouraging signs for them.

Less than 5 months for the show piece event in World Cricket and the ICC doesnt have a clue regards the schedule!

This is so dumb on many levels. How are fans going to be able to make it? Air fares surging like crazy , more so in India. To top it, no one knows where their teams are going to play/ how many games per stadium(we dont even know the host cities). So poor!

If there's an Asia Cup.

Given the current scenario, Pakistan might be in a better position to negotiate an ODI series with NZ/Aus and get some real cricket practice.

Roston Chase with a batting average of 23 (and a barnstorming strike-rate of 73) and a bowling average of 40 from 35 ODIs is now captaining the West Indian team against UAE. Just why, WICB?
