England Tour of Netherlands: Tom Cooper returns as Netherlands announce squad for HISTORIC 1st ODI series against England at home
Cooper, who has played 41 international games for the Netherlands across ODI and T20I cricket, returns to the squad for the first time since 2016 when he played in a T20I match against Ireland. The Netherlands have also named uncapped Tim Pringle, a 19-year-old left-arm spinner who has played for New Zealand’s Under-19s.
The Netherlands have suffered a tough ODI series defeat against the West Indies where they put up great performances in every match but ended up losing the series by 3-0. But skipper Pieter Seelaar is looking to take the positive note from that series and expects to continue the improvement and development against the England Cricket team.

“After a very competitive series against the West Indies, we take on the reigning world champions England, taking a lot of positives from the matches against the West Indies into the upcoming Series. In saying that, there are also areas we need to improve in order to be as competitive against England,” said Pieter Seelaar said in an official statement released by ICC.
