The combination of my years at the KNCB (Royal Dutch Cricket Board), my work as chair, and my experience in municipal sports means I can truly contribute something in this role. I'm really looking forward to working with all the clubs to further develop cricket. A key challenge lies in the development of women's cricket, which is essential for ensuring the future of the sport in the Netherlands. I'm very much looking forward to that!”
