About the organization
The Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) is responsible for the organization and development of cricket in the Netherlands. The KNCB is a member of NOC*NSF and the International Cricket Council (ICC). Cricket is the second largest sport in the world and will be an Olympic sport from 2028! Our national teams (m/f) are among the top 15 in the world and we also want to use the success of our top players in our own country to grow to 40% of active cricketers, with a strong focus on women and youth participation. We also want to increase the number of cricket clubs so that there is good access and representation of our sport of cricket in all regions.
