England on Dutch Super League sojourn striving for crucial points
After three One Day Internationals against the West Indies, the VRA Ground in Amstelveen again sets the scene, with the tourists three wins away from the top spot in the 13-team competition.
England are heavy favourites to do the job across the three matches, though there may be rust to shake off, with an 11-month gap between One Day International fixtures.
Members of the Test squad are unavailable on the English side, though Eoin Morgan's side still boasts marked senior experience, with Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Jason Roy among the travelling party.
It's the first assignment for new white ball coach Matthew Mott, joining the side after his successful tenure with the Australian women's team. His Test coaching counterpart Brendon McCullum has enjoyed immediate success, with two wins from as many matches over his New Zealand countrymen.
The Dutch hosted the West Indies already in their home Super League summer, and the 3-0 series scoreline against Nicholas Pooran's men doesn't necessarily reflect the close nature of the series. Earlier in the cycle, the Dutch were too strong in a 2-1 series win over Ireland.
The words "Mandatory Release" are likely to give Dutch fans shivers, with a number of county-based players again unavailable for selection, as they were for the West Indies series.
The side is boosted by the return of Tom Cooper though, thrown back into the mix for the Dutch, having last appeared for them six years ago at the 2016 T20 World Cup. Should he make the playing XI, it will be his first ODI appearance since 2013.
