What the captain says
“It is massive for the guys, for our supporters back home, and for Dutch cricket in general. The opportunity to play in a 10-team World Cup, it is massive for us. We will lap it up and hopefully put in some good performances there.” – Scott Edwards after the Netherlands secured their place at the World Cup at the qualifying tournament in Zimbabwe in July.
