Netherlands on Tuesday (September 6) announced a 16-member squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, slated to be held in Australia from October 16 to November 13.
Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackermann have returned to the Netherlands squad to make it a stronger one.
Scott Edwards will lead the side that features a strong pace attack with Brandon Glover, Timm van der Gugten, Logan van Beek and Paul van Meekeren in it. Ackermann is also a talented all-rounder who can bowl medium pace.
“We have assembled a well balanced squad with an exciting blend of youth and experience for the upcoming T20 World Cup," head coach Ryan Cook quoted as saying by ICC.
"The experience playing in the Super League will stand the team in good stead and good confidence can be taken from these performances.
"We will look to continue the progression that was evident through the summer into the tournament and have some quality preparation planned prior to the event which will help the readiness for the group in both skills and cohesion.”
Netherlands had qualified for the T20 World Cup 2022 on the basis of their performance in the T20 World Cup Qualifier earlier this year. While they lost the Qualifier final to Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, Netherlands secured their place in the main event by playing the final.
Netherlands Squad:
Scott Edwards (c, wk), Colin Ackermann, Shariz Ahmad, Logan van Beek, Tom Cooper, Brandon Glover, Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen, Bas de Leede, Paul van Meekeren, Roelof van der Merwe, Stephan Myburgh, Teja Nidamanuru, Max O’Dowd, Tim Pringle, Vikram Singh
