Scott Edwards, who led the Netherlands men's cricket team for nearly three years, has stepped down as captain. Edwards, who made headlines for defeating teams like South Africa and Bangladesh in the World Cup, cited his desire to contribute more to the team as a player without the pressure of captaincy. Bas de Leede, a pace-bowling all-rounder, has been appointed as the new captain with immediate effect. The Dutch team is currently second in the CWC League 2 standings and will face Oman and the UAE in their final block of matches later this year.
