Netherlands named a strong squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia with the likes of Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackermann returning.
Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackermann were notable additions to the Netherlands squad that took on New Zealand at home in the recent T20I series.
Scott Edwards will lead the side that has a strong pace attack with Brandon Glover, Timm van der Gugten, Logan van Beek and Paul van Meekeren. Ackermann is also a capable 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 said.
Netherlands had made it to the T20 World Cup in Australia through the T20 World Cup Qualifier in Bulawayo. While they lost the final of the qualifier to Zimbabwe, the Netherlands booked their place in Australia by appearing in the final.
Here is the squad:
| Scott Edwards (c) | Colin Ackermann | Shariz Ahmad | Logan van Beek |
