Led by Scott Edwards, the team features a host of players who have represented the Dutch on the big stage in recent years.
Highlighting the rich experience within his outfit, head coach Ryan Cook said, “With experience in the past few World Cups, having played against all of the teams in our group recently and having exposure to the conditions in Sri Lanka and India, we are confident in our preparations over the past few months.”
“Players and staff have been working hard and making many sacrifices to put the team in a great position to succeed in the tournament.
“Our squad has depth and variety in options, which we feel will be effective against the opposition and in these conditions, as well as experience, which will be important as we look to advance through the group stages.”
The Netherlands is in Group A of the tournament alongside Pakistan, Namibia, the USA, and defending champion India.
The Dutch had sealed their qualification for the tournament via the European Qualifiers, alongside Italy. This will be their seventh appearance at the tournament, their first having come in the 2009 edition, where they stunned host England in the opening game.
The Scott Edwards-led side will start its campaign against Pakistan on February 7 in Colombo.
