West Indian cricket team in the Netherlands in 2022

The West Indies cricket team are scheduled to tour the Netherlands in May and June 2022 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] The ODI series will form part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4] Originally, the series was scheduled to take place in June 2020. However, on 22 April 2020, the Dutch government announced that it had banned all events in the country, both sports and cultural, until 1 September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] In February 2022, the revised fixtures for the tour were confirmed.[7] It will be the first time that the West Indies will tour the Netherlands for a three-match ODI series.[8] The West Indies had previously played two 55-over friendly matches in the Netherlands in 1991.[9]
