On the grandest stage of women's cricket, a new team is poised to make history. The Netherlands squad, making its debut in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, has announced its 15-member team. Prior to this, the squads for England, New Zealand, and India had already been announced. In the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, the Netherlands team has been placed in Group A alongside formidable sides such as India and Australia. Notably, in just their second match of the tournament, the team will face a strong opponent in India—a clash that has further heightened the excitement surrounding this debut.
The responsibility of captaining the team for this prestigious tournament—set to commence on June 12 in England and Wales—has been entrusted to Babette de Leede. The Netherlands has made history by qualifying for this World Cup; by winning all three of their matches during the 'Super Six' stage of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifiers, the team has secured its place in this tournament for the very first time.

Captain Babette de Leede expressed her delight regarding this historic occasion and also voiced her confidence in the team's performance. She stated, "We are incredibly excited about our maiden participation in the ICC T20 World Cup. This will be a fantastic opportunity to compete against the world's finest teams and to showcase the talent present in the Netherlands on a global stage. Since the T20 World Cup is being played close to home in England we hope that a large number of spectators clad in orange jerseys will turn out to offer us their wholehearted support.
