In a significant step forward for women’s cricket, the USA Women’s cricket team is all set to embark on a historic bilateral tour of the Netherlands in June 2025. This marks the first-ever T20 International series between the two nations, and expectations are high for a competitive five-match showdown.
Aditiba Chudasama to continue as team’s leader
The announcement of the squad has ignited excitement among fans and analysts alike, as this series is expected to serve as a vital preparation ground for both sides ahead of major ICC qualifying tournaments. The USA Cricket Board unveiled a 14-member squad, with experienced all-rounder Aditiba Chudasama continuing her captaincy role. She will be supported by vice-captain Chetna Reddy Pagydyala.
Scheduled from June 7 to June 13, the matches will take place at two of the Netherlands’ top cricket venues—VRA Cricket Ground in Amstelveen and Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht. This series also marks a return to regular international fixtures for the USA Women’s side, who have been steadily building momentum through domestic competitions and training camps.

Wicketkeeper-batter Pooja Ganesh also returns to the setup, providing depth in the lower order and behind the stumps, with Ritu Singh and Saanvi Immadi rounding out the squad.
