Netherlands finalise squad for home league 2 tri‑series

The Netherlands have confirmed a 15‑player squad for their home Cricket World Cup League 2 tri‑series against Namibia and Nepal, maintaining continuity while making targeted changes. Captain Scott Edwards again leads a group featuring experienced all‑rounders Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek and Roelof van der Merwe, forming the backbone of a side that has steadily climbed the CWCL2 standings.

Ten players return from last month’s fixtures against USA and Canada, while Saqib Zulfiqar, Logan van Beek, Ryan Klein and Tim Pringle come in for Sebastian Braat, Daniel Doram, Oli Elenbaas and Michael Levitt. Max O’Dowd anchors the top order, with spin options Aryan Dutt, Pringle and Zulfiqar offering variety alongside a pace attack spearheaded by Kyle and Ryan Klein.

Alex Roy and Zach Lion‑Cachet also earn selection as the Dutch prepare for six home matches at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd. The Netherlands sit third in the CWCL2 table with 32 points from 28 games.
