Andrew Louw (born August 18, 1987) is a Namibian cricket umpire and former international cricketer.
As a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler, he represented the Namibian under-19 side at the 2006 Under-19 World Cup, and subsequently played a single first-class match for the senior Namibian national team, against KwaZulu-Natal Inland in 2009. Louw made his first-class umpiring debut in April 2013, and has since officiated in limited-overs and Twenty20 matches.[1]
His father, Wynand Louw, is also an umpire, and has been on the ICC Associates and Affiliates Umpire Panel since 2013.[2] The pair officiated a 12-a-side game between Namibia A and Kenya in November 2014,[3] and also stood together in a 20-over match between Namibia and Hong Kong in May 2015, which had full Twenty20 status.[4]
On 20 May 2019, he stood in his first Twenty20 International (T20I) match, between Kenya and Nigeria in Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Uganda.[5]
