Netherlands takes on Namibia and Nepal at Kampong Utrecht 21 – 31 July
After the recent T20 Women’s World Cup in England, this time great matches from the national men’s team await us in the Netherlands. At Kampong in Utrecht, the Dutch team will play four ODIs against Nepal and Namibia.
The matches will take place as part of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 (CWCL2). The top four teams from this international competition will go to a qualifying tournament in 2027. The four best teams from that tournament will qualify for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup (50 overs), which will be held in late 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
Tickets at 20 euros each can be purchased at the gate (cards only).

Heino Kuhn, acting national men’s coach: "We've assembled a well-balanced squad with a great mix of experience, players who are in excellent form and still at the beginning of their careers, as well as a few returning from injury who have worked hard and are performing well again. It gives us real depth and plenty of quality options, so I'm confident that whichever XI we put out on the park will be a strong one.”
“We're coming up against two quality sides that have been playing some very good cricket over the past 12 months, and we certainly won't be taking them lightly. It promises to be a fantastic challenge, one that we're all looking forward to. Our focus is on playing the brand of cricket we know we're capable of and putting in strong performances across all four matches at Kampong."
