The Netherlands National Cricket team includes several eminent players, but the two experienced ones are missing.

Veteran all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe and key batter Colin Ackermann are missing. Both are replaced by young players - Tim Pringle and Michael Levitt.

Tim is a left-arm spinner with young talent. He is expected to add strength to the team. Levitt is a striking opener with a promise to add robustness in the batting.

Levitt made headlines with an impressive century against Namibia in a T20I tri-series in Nepal in February, striking 11 fours and 10 sixes in a knock of 135 from just 62 balls.

Scott scored 737 runs with an average and strike rate of 19.91 and 120.42 respectively.
