SCOTT EDWARDS

Wicket-keeper batter Scott Edwards is a hometown Dutch hero and one of the most important figures in Netherlands cricket history. Born on 23 August 1996 in Tonga to Australian parents, Edwards qualifies for the Netherlands via his grandmother's Dutch heritage. He committed to the country so fully that he relocated there permanently and even tattooed a Dutch lion on his ankle.

He served as the Netherlands captain from 2022 to 2026 and led the side in two of the most celebrated results in Dutch cricketing history - victories over South Africa at both the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup and the 2023 ICC Men's ODI World Cup. Under his captaincy, the Netherlands consistently punched above their weight on the global stage.

Behind the stumps, he is sharp, reliable and inventive. His glovework has produced some of the cleanest stumping and catching in European cricket.

His experience of having played in the highly competitive Australian cricket structure has given him invaluable experience against high-quality bowling attacks.

Neat, brave, and fully invested in the cause, Edwards represents everything that European cricket wants to become.
