Door de hevige regenval is besloten dat VOC één van de twee geplande ODM's tegen de VAE kan huisvesten, geen twee. Daarop moest naar een ander veld worden uitgekeken, en uiteindelijk viel de keus op het Deventer graswicket, waar momenteel de vierdaagse Intercontinental Cup-wedstrijd tussen beide teams plaatsvindt.
KNCB CEO Richard Cox: " Due to the unprecedented adverse weather conditions in the Netherlands particularly on the western side of the country and on the advice of consultant groundsman Steve Rouse (formerly Head Groundsman at Edgbaston/Warwickshire CCC) it has been agreed to switch the 2nd ODM v UAE on Monday 23rd July from VOC Cricket Club Rotterdam to Salland Cricket Club Deventer. The scheduled match on Saturday 21st will remain in situ at VOC. Both matches are World Cup Qualifiers. We are extremely grateful to colleagues at ICC for approving this request and hope that both matches can now take place without further interference from the poor weather".
