Carty was singled out by lead selector Desmond Haynes as a promising batter.

Starting May 31, the team will play a three-match series at Amstelveen. Following the tour of the Netherlands, the team will head to Rawalpindi, Pakistan, for a three-match ODI series commencing June 8.
The series in Pakistan was originally slated for December 2021, but the tour was postponed due to an epidemic of COVID-19 cases in the visitors’ camp following the T20 series.
