Embassy Cup at Groen-Geel in Wassenaar

Published at 14 September, 2022

On Friday 16 September, the 'Embassy Cup of The Hague' will be played at Groen-Geel in Wassenaar from 16:00. The KNCB's initiative aims to bring different nationalities and cultures into contact with each other.

In this first edition, teams from the embassies of Bangladesh, India and New Zealand compete against each other in ten-over matches. An English team has had to cancel due to the death of Queen Elizabeth and is being replaced by a Dutch team.

KNCB Chairman Guido Landheer explains: "Cricket is a means to bring different communities together. We should like to attract new networks of cricketers. We see this as part of cricket development, a top priority of the KNCB: to further develop cricket and make the sport more popular in the Netherlands. The longer-term goal is an annual event with representatives of countries with a cricket culture."
