Afghanistan played three CWCSL matches earlier this year, against Ireland, sweeping the series. They currently have 30 points and sit at No 11 in the standings.

The Netherlands so far have 25 points from four games, after their away series against South Africa was called off late in November due to concerns surrounding the emergence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.

Notably, the top eight teams in the CWCSL will qualify automatically for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, with the remaining five teams taking part in a qualifying campaign.

The three matches will be held on January 21, 23 and 25 at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
