Netherlands cricket team is reportedly scheduled to have a pre-tournament camp in Karnataka in September a month before the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to be held in India from October 5 to November 19.

Netherlands had beaten many odds to qualify for the show-piece event, stunning stronger full member team like the West Indies as well as beating Scotland in a must-win game, which booked their berth due to better Net Run Rate (NRR).

According to report from Cricbuzz, the Dutch team will have a 12-day camp at the Alur KSCA near Bengaluru next month. The camp, which will take place from September 19 to October 1, has been organized by the Netherlands Cricket and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA).

The report further states that there are plans to extend the camp by a couple of weeks, possibly from the first week of September, but a confirmation on this has not yet been obtained.

Netherlands had made a similar arrangement of a camp before the 2016 T20 World Cup, playing a few warm up games at the KSCA facility in Alur against a Karnataka XI side. The Dutch are scheduled to play one match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the World Cup.

Before the show-piece event, Netherlands will also play a few warm up matches in addition to their possible matches against a select KSCA XI or Karnataka XI team. Here is how the Dutch schedule looks for the World Cup.
