Netherlands has not established itself as a test side yet. It is still in its early days in international cricket. Many of the players of Netherlands like Andre van Troost, Dan van Bunge and Bas Zuiderent have played county cricket in England.
Netherlands first qualified for the World Cup in 1996. It did not qualify for the World Cup that followed in 1999 but participated in the 2003 World Cup.
In June 2006, Sri Lanka toured Netherlands for two ODIs. The matches, as expected, were totally one-sided but Netherlands impressed with its batting abilities.
Netherlands has been actively participating in the other tournaments involving non-test playing countries. It won the ICC trophy in 2001. It also won the European Championship in 1998.
As cricket's popularity grows in Netherlands, it hopes to have many more Dutchs taking up professional cricket as a career. As of now, it is gleaning all the experiences that come its way and lay a foundation for the future.
