Netherlands Announce Squad for ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023

The Netherlands has unveiled its 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, set to be held in India. While their journey to securing a spot in the prestigious tournament was marked by heroic performances in the qualifiers, the Dutch team has made some notable inclusions for the World Cup. 

Dynamic duo recalled 

One of the significant developments in the Netherlands’ squad announcement is the recall of veteran cricketers Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackermann. Interestingly, these experienced campaigners were not part of the squad during the qualifiers, yet their inclusion signifies a strategic move by the Netherlands to bolster their World Cup squad. 

Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackermann showcased their mettle in the T20 World Cup last year. Their contributions played a pivotal role in the Netherlands’ commendable performance in the tournament. With their inclusion, the team aims to carry forward this momentum to the 50-over format. 

Key players to watch 

Scott Edwards will lead the Dutch contingent in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The team will be looking to replicate its impressive form from the qualifiers, where they earned their place in the tournament ahead of formidable opponents like the West Indies. 

The Netherlands’ squad for the World Cup features key players to watch out for. Max O’Dowd, the star opener, and Bas de Leede, the dynamic all-rounder, are expected to play crucial roles in the team’s campaign. 

The Netherlands is leaving no stone unturned in its preparations for the World Cup in India. The hopeful squad members recently underwent training in Bangalore before returning home. They will reconvene and head to India around September 20, where they will have a camp to fine-tune their skills and strategies ahead of the mega event.
