Head coach Helmien Rambaldo: “After a good preparation in the winter and women’s T20 competition, we are looking forward to the summer full of cricket for the Dutch Lionesses U19. The T20 World Cup qualifiers against Scotland provide a great opportunity for the Lionesses U19 to show what they have worked so hard for together lately. It’s going to be a great challenge and experience to play at this level, and I can’t wait to see them on the pitch together for the ticket to the World Cup.”
