England men have rescheduled their first-ever tour of Netherlands for June 2022.

The reigning 50-over world champions will play three one-day internationals at the VRA Cricket Ground in Amstelveen next summer.

Matches will be played on June 17, 19 and 22 at the 4,500-capacity ground.

Given the close proximity to the third New Zealand Test at Headingley (June 23-27) two entirely different England squads are likely to be in operation.

The availability of multi-format players Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Jofra Archer, Dawid Malan, Chris Woakes and Jonny Bairstow is therefore likely to be compromised.

The series was postponed from May 2021 due to the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

All three games will form part of the ongoing Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, the qualifying pathway for the next tournament in India in 2023.

The sides have met on five previous occasions but all at global ICC events. The Dutch prevailed on two occasions, at the T20 World Cup in 2009 and 2014.

Netherlands v England fixtures

First ODI: Friday, June 17 (VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen)

Second ODI: Sunday, June 19 (VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen)

Third ODI: Wednesday, June 22 (VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen)
