South Africa will host the Netherlands for three ODIs in Centurion in November 2021.

The Proteas and Dutch haven’t played each other in seven years. Their last meeting was a T20I in 2014.

This is the first time they will share a bilateral series. Previously, they’ve contested World Cup matches and a one-off ODI.

“The ODI series against the Netherlands forms part of the Cricket World Cup Super League,” said Cricket South Africa director of cricket Graeme Smith.
