The Netherlands Cricket has announce their final squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023.
Experienced wicket-keeper Scott Edwards will once again captain the Netherlands side, which is hit by the number of absentees. Several experienced as well as key players opted to play in the County cricket in England rather than representing the national side.
