The Dutch team, which is scheduled to arrive in Jamaica on March 2 for warm-up matches for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, will get a taste and feel of Jamaican vibes on February 28, when the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) will host a farewell party for them at the House of the Sports in Nieuwegein near Utrecht in the Netherlands.

"This is their third time entering the Cricket World Cup (CWC) and while it may not be the biggest sport in the Netherlands, it is certainly of great significance for us [JTB] and our representative in the Netherlands, as it is a great opportunity to prepare the team for Jamaica," Janice Allen, destination marketing manager at the JTB told JIS News.

The team, she said, will be fted to a special Jamaican evening, so that when they arrive in Jamaica, they will be prepared for what should be a wonderful time.

"Hopefully, the team will have a wonderful time at playing cricket too," she said.

The Dutch team will play two warm-up matches at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium. They will meet India on March 6 and play Kenya on March 8. Ticket prices for warm-up matches range between US$10 and US$40.

The team will be fted so that when they arrive, they will be prepared for what should be a wonderful time.
