Namibian cricketer Raymond van Schoor passed away on Friday evening.
Van Schoor suffered a stroke during a cricket match against Free State last Sunday and was taken to hospital.
He was later placed in intensive care, but his condition deteriorated and he passed way at 19h17 on Friday evening.
The president of Cricket Namibia, Richard Frankle has issued the following statement:
“It is with deep regret and sorrow that I announce the passing of Raymond van Schoor at 19h17 Namibian time on Friday the 20th November 2015.
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.
He was taken far too early from us.
We however accept that Almighty God needed him to represent the Heavenly Angels!
May his soul rest in peace! “
