Netherlands name squad for League 2 home tri-series

Scott Edwards will captain the side, with experienced all-rounders Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek and Roelof van der Merwe among the key names selected to face Namibia and Nepal at home.

Netherlands squad:

Scott Edwards (captain), Alex Roy, Aryan Dutt, Bas de Leede, Cedric de Lange, Saqib Zulfiqar, Kyle Klein, Max O’Dowd, Logan van Beek, Noah Croes, Ryan Klein, Roelof van der Merwe, Tim Pringle, Vikramjit Singh, Zach Lion-Cachet

The core of the group remains the same as that of the squad which featured in last month's CWCL2 clashes against USA and Canada, with 10 players retaining their place.

Saqib Zulfiqar, Logan van Beek, Ryan Klein, and Tim Pringle have been picked in place of Sebastian Braat, Daniel Doram, Oli Elenbaas, and Michael Levitt.

The squad also includes regular top-order batters Max O’Dowd and Vikramjit Singh, while spin options Aryan Dutt, Tim Pringle, Saqib Zulfiqar and Noah Croes provide variety alongside the pace attack led by Kyle Klein, Ryan Klein and Cedric de Lange.

Alex Roy and Zach Lion-Cachet also earn places in the squad as the Dutch prepare for the home assignment.

All the matches will take place at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht.

Netherlands currently sit third in the CWCL2 standings with 32 points from 28 games, just behind leaders USA and Scotland.
