The ICC has confirmed the event technical committee of the ICC World Cricket League Division 1 has approved changes in the Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland squads for the tournament which will be staged in the Netherlands from 1 to 10 July.

Adeel Raja will replace Ryan ten Doeschate in the Netherlands side, James Hall and Andrew Balbirnie will replace Andre Botha and Gary Wilson, respectively, for Ireland while will Moneeb Iqbal will take over from Josh Davey in the Scotland side.

The confirmations of the replacements were conveyed to Noninkjijke Nederlandse Cricket Board (KNCB), Cricket Ireland and Cricket Scotland on behalf of the committee today (Friday).

Raja, the 29-year-old off-spinner, has played in 11 ODIs in which he has taken 12 wickets while Iqbal, the 24-year-old leg-spinner, has represented Scotland in two ODIs.
