Netherlands and Scotland will face off in a series of matches across different formats starting with the four-day Intercontinental Cup fixture on June 21 in Aberdeen, followed by two ODIs and as many Twenty20s.
Netherlands last played international cricket in the 2011 World Cup, in which they failed to win a single game. They'll be missing some players due to work and other commitments, but will have Alexei Kervezee in their ranks for the first ODI and star allrounder Ryan ten Doeschate for the second ODI and the Twenty20s.
"The squads are well balanced with plenty of experience," Netherlands coach Peter Drinnen said. "The World Twenty20 qualifiers are not far away and with increased depth in our squad, the players are keen to seize every opportunity to secure their spot."
