There were 2 big changes in the main team for the T20 World Cup, the experienced player returned after 5 years

 


 Injuries force two changes to Netherlands' T20 World Cup squad: Less than 10 days are left for the T20 World Cup to begin. The Netherlands team has suffered two major setbacks ahead of this big tournament to be jointly held in the USA and West Indies. Fred Klaasen and Daniel Doram have been ruled out of the 15-member Netherlands squad due to injury and Kyle Klein, who was earlier included in the team as a traveling reserve, has been included in their place. While Saqib Zulfiqar has got a place in the team as the second player. Kyle Klein's brother Ryan Klein will now be associated with the team as the first reserve.

Let us tell you that on May 13, Netherlands selected 15 players in which many veteran players were shown the way out. These players included the names of Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackerman. Even after Fred Klaasen and Daniel Doram were out, these players were not selected and other players have been given a chance in their place. Kyle Klein, who was earlier involved with the team as a traveling reserve, has now got a place in the main team. Kyle has played 4 international matches for Netherlands and earlier this year he made his international debut for his team.

On the other hand, Saqib Zulfiqar has returned to the T20 team after 5 years. Being an important part of the ODI team, he has also been given preference in the T20 format. Saqib played his last T20 international match in August 2019 but now he has returned to the team after almost 5 years. 27-year-old Saqib will be seen playing the role of a leg spinner and he has also played 21 matches at the international level, including 6 T20 matches.
