 Pakistan's tour to the Netherlands postponed

By our correspondent

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that Pakistan's tour to the Netherlands for a three-match T20I series has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts.

The series was originally scheduled for May 2024, but the PCB has requested the Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) to reschedule the matches. This decision is aimed at easing the burden on a packed cricket calendar.

The PCB and KNCB are currently exploring alternative options to reschedule the T20I series at a more convenient time.

Roland Lefebvre, High-Performance Manager at KNCB, expressed his disappointment over the postponement of the series but remained optimistic about finding a suitable window to play the matches.

"We're obviously disappointed, but of course, we understand the situation," Lefebvre said. "We remain optimistic that a new window will be found to play the series either at home or away."

Pakistan's three-match series against the Netherlands was initially scheduled for early May 2024, prior to Pakistan's tours of Ireland and England. However, Pakistan is also set to play a five-match T20I series against New Zealand in April, making the schedule even tighter and leaving little room for the Netherlands tour.

The PCB and KNCB will continue to work together to find a mutually agreeable date for the series.
