West Indies historic ODI tour to The Netherlands

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced the West Indies men’s first ever One-Day International (ODI) series against The Netherlands from May 31 to June 4 at the VRA Cricket Ground in Amstelven.

The three-matches form part of the ICC ODI Super League, where West Indies and The Netherlands will have the opportunity to secure points for one of the top seven places, excluding hosts India, to gain automatic qualification for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

CWI CEO Johnny Grave said, “we have been working closely with our colleagues at Koninklijke Netherlands Cricket Board to put together this series immediately after the Indian Premier League and we are happy to now announce the match schedule.”

“It’s going to be exciting to tour the Netherlands for the first time. It is a short tour, but we expect great entertainment for the fans in the Netherlands.”

The last time the West Indies visited the Netherlands was in 1991, for two 55-overs friendly matches.

The matches will be the second Cricket World Cup Super League home series for the Dutch team.
