The Netherlands women’s cricket team has announced its squad for the upcoming T20I Tri-Nation Series in Nepal, scheduled to take place from January 30 to February 7, 2025. Skipper Babette de Leede will lead the side in a series that features Thailand and hosts Nepal.
Recent Performances of the Netherlands
In their last international outing, the Netherlands competed in a T20I Tri-Series in August 2024, hosting Papua New Guinea and Scotland. Unfortunately, the Netherlands fell short against Scotland on August 16, 2024, while their match against Papua New Guinea on August 14, 2024, was washed out due to rain.
