The Royal Dutch Cricket Association has announced that Scott Edwards, an experienced player, will lead the Netherlands team in the upcoming T20 World Cup next month. This decision was made despite Edwards' recent underwhelming performances in the tri-series against Nepal and Namibia. However, overall, he has played 56 T20Is for the Netherlands and has scored 671 runs with an impressive strike-rate of 122.
Joining Edwards in the squad are three Indian-origin cricketers, Teja Nidamanuru, Vikram Singh, and Aryan Dutt. This will be the third consecutive appearance for the Netherlands in an ICC event, having previously participated in the T20 World Cup in 2022 and the 50-over World Cup last year.
Before heading out for their group matches in the USA and the West Indies, the Netherlands will play a home tri-series against Ireland and Scotland from May 18 to 24. Their first match in the T20 World Cup will be against Nepal on June 4 in Dallas, followed by a challenging match against South Africa in New York four days later. Their remaining two group matches will be against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, to be played in St Vincent and St Lucia, respectively.
The Netherlands squad also includes players like Aryan Dutt, Bas de Leede, Daniel Doram, Fred Klaassen, Kyle Klein, Logan van Beek, Max O'Dowd, Michael Levitt, Paul van Meekeren, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Tim Pringle, and Wesley Barresi, alongside Edwards. It will be a tough competition, but the Netherlands is determined and ready to give their best in the T20 World Cup.
