Cancellation Germany
Germany's national XI would play a KNCB XI in three T20's at Salland CC (picture) in Deventer on 1, 2 and 3 September. The German cricket association cancelled the tour due to the current corona-virus situation in Europe. CEO Brian Mantle: ““We have decided that due to the developing situation and insecurity regarding the virus, we thought it sensible to postpone the games until next season. We would like to thank the KNCB for their understanding and look forward to renewing our friendship on the field when things are a little less complicated.”
