The Netherlands, USA, and Canada have announced their squad for the upcoming tri-series in Cricket World Cup League 2. There will be some big names that will miss the action as the Netherlands and USA name their squad. For this month’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series against Canada. The Netherlands will be without a group of their players. That featured at the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean.
Saurabh Netravalkar, USA’s star player in the T20 World Cup 2024, has been given parental leave after the birth of his first child. Similarly, another World Cup hero, wicketkeeper-batsman Andries Gous, will miss the series because of paternity leave. Corey Anderson, who had a dismal performance, has been dropped out of the squad.
The Dutch side will be without Teja Nidamanuru, Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, and Fred Klaassen. All missing the tri-series on home soil that runs from 11-21 August. Veteran all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe and key batter Colin Ackermann once again are absent from Scott Edwards’ side. While there are recalls for brothers Musa and Shariz Ahmad.
Canada named their squad last month, with hard-hitting batter Nicholas Kirton announced as the new skipper after Saad Bin Zafar led the side at the T20 World Cup. Long-term coach Pubudu Dassanayake has also departed.
