Twenty20 International series

The New Zealand cricket team were scheduled to tour the Netherlands in June 2020 to play a one-off Twenty20 International (T20I) match.[1] It would have been the first time that the New Zealand team have toured the Netherlands since 1986.[2] New Zealand were also scheduled to tour Scotland and Ireland in the same month to play One Day International (ODIs) and T20Is.[3]

The COVID-19 pandemic put the match in doubt.[4] In April 2020, David White, Chief Executive of New Zealand Cricket, said that the tour would be "most unlikely" to happen.[5]

However, on 22 April 2020, the Dutch government announced that it had banned all events in the country, both sports and cultural, until 1 September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7]
