Salland and VOC hosts ODI/T20I series against Zimbabwe

Published at 12 June, 2019

ODI's: June 19 and June 21, (11am start). T20I's: June 23 (3pm start) and June 25 (5.30pm start)

The Netherlands and Zimbabwe men’s cricket XI will face each other in two ODI’s and two T20I’s between 19 and 25 June 2019. The last time the two countries met in an official ODI was during the 2003 World Cup; Zimbabwe won that encounter by 99 runs. During the ICC World T20 in India in 2014 Zimbabwe also beat The Netherlands, this time by 5 wickets.

With the World Cup Qualifiers (Dubai, October 2019) and the 2020-22 ICC World Cup Super League not too far away, the series against Zimbabwe are a great opportunity for players trying to establish themselves.

Squad

Pieter Seelaar (c, VOC), Max O'Dowd (VOC), Tobias Visée (HBS), Ben Cooper (VRA), Bas de Leede (VCC/MCC YCS), Wesley Barresi (HBS), Roelof van der Merwe (Somerset), Scott Edwards (VOC), Paul van Meekeren (Somerset), Fred Klaassen (Kent), Vivian Kingma (VCC), Brandon Glover (VCC), Saqib Zulfiqar (ACC).

Head Coach Ryan Campbell

“It is extremely pleasing to reward Viv Kingma with selection in the squad after a long period of absence due to injury, as well as an opportunity for Tobias Visée to play ODI cricket after his impressive performances in Oman. Saqib Zulfiqar represents a quality allrounder where his numbers with the ball especially, made it hard to leave him out. We will have one debutant in Brandon Glover, who has impressed everyone with his raw pace and energy around the team.”
