Preview: New Zealand Gears Up To Face The Netherlands
Ross Taylor is set to make his last appearance in international cricket after announcing his retirement earlier this year.
Following an exciting series against South Africa, New Zealand will give the Test whites a break as it gears up for limited-overs action when they face the Netherlands in a one-off T20 and three-match ODI series. The series will stream live & exclusive on Amazon Prime Video beginning 25th March 2022.
Veteran BLACK CAPS batsman, Ross Taylor is set to make his last appearance in international cricket after announcing his retirement earlier this year. His experience will come in handy for a relatively young New Zealand side. The series will serve as a maiden call-up to players like Michael Bracewell and wicketkeeper-batsman Dane Cleaver. The 31-year-old Bracewell topped the season's Super Smash scoring charts, while Cleaver smashed 369 runs to finish second.

The Dutch also welcome back Stephan Myburgh and Max O'Dowd, who were not part of the squad for their most recent ODI series against Afghanistan in Doha in January 2022.
