The first One Day International of three-match series between Pakistan and Netherlands will be played at Rotterdam on Tuesday.

Babar Azam will lead a strong Pakistan side that contains a bevy of fast-bowling options, including star quick Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah.

Babar has indicated Afridi may be used sparingly during the ODI series, with the towering pacer recovering from the knee injury that forced him to miss the second Test against Sri Lanka and with the Asia Cup on the horizon later this month.

"We re looking long term at his fitness and health," Babar said recently of Afridi.

"We want him to play a game against the Netherlands if he s fit and be ready for the Asia Cup."
