Pakistan To Tour Netherlands For ODI Series
In a statement that was given by the Pakistan Cricket Board, it was said that the team will be playing the 3 one day international matches in Rotterdam in August as part of the World Cup Super League. Prior to this, Pakistan and the Netherlands played with each other during the World Cups in the years 1996 and 2003. Since then, this will be the first bilateral ODI series that will be played between the two countries.
The matches will be taking place at the VOC Cricket Ground on August 16, 18, and 21. Zakir Khan, director of international cricket of the Pakistan Cricket Board, expressed, “We are delighted to have been able to reschedule the match series, which is critical to the growth and the development of cricket in the Netherlands.”
He further added, “Our men’s national cricket team had a terrific season in the year 2021-22, and I am optimistic that they can continue on that momentum to excite ex-pat Pakistanis and Dutch spectators with superb cricket.” He also continued stating that they are pleased with the support provided by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB).
This rescheduling of the matches can prove to be beneficial not only for the Netherland but for Pakistan too as this can increase their chances to progress towards the 2023 World Cup. World Cup 2023 is set to take place in India.
