Bas de Leede replaces Scott Edwards as Netherlands captain

Bas de Leede succeeds Scott Edwards as Netherlands captain after the wicketkeeper-batter led the side for four years.

Bas de Leede has been appointed the new captain of the Netherlands cricket team ahead of their CWC League 2 matches. Scott Edwards stepped down after leading the side for four years across 56 ODIs. The change was confirmed on Sunday.

Edwards had guided the team through a period that included regular appearances in major tournaments. De Leede, an all-rounder, will now take charge of the white-ball sides. The appointment comes with immediate focus on the upcoming League 2 fixtures.

Netherlands will play their next series under the new leadership. The transition keeps continuity in the squad while handing the reins to a player who has been a regular in the middle order and with the ball.
