Netherlands Cricket Board (KNCB) will be hosting the U17 Women’s squad of Ireland from August 01st – 04th, 2022 in a five (5)-match T20 series at Kampong Cricket Club ground in Utrecht. The Netherlands U19 squad are currently preparing for their three (3)-match series with Scotland U19 Women squad for the lone qualification spot from the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup Europe qualifier set to take place at the same venue in Utrecht from August 09th – 11th, 2022.
The 2022 domestic season in Netherlands saw the Dutch U19 Women take part in the ten (10)-team Women’s T20 competition, where they played against the senior Women’s squads from the leading clubs in the country, and have done remarkably well by winning five (5) matches out of their eight (8) played games in the competition, which sees the U19 team placed third (3rd) in the points table. The likes of Robyn van Oosterom, Merel Dekeling, Robin Schmidt, Fenna Vermeire, Mahdiya Fatima Kidwai, Pien Oost and Kristine Smits have been the top performers for the team in the T20 competition and will like to continue the same in the T20 series against the visiting Irish team.
