• operates effectively within an association environment involving both societal and business interests;
• has an affinity with cricket and wishes to contribute to the further development and
professionalization of the KNCB;
• gives the general director and the federation's office the space to take responsibility within clear frameworks.

• The opportunity to directly contribute to the financial health and continued growth of cricket in the Netherlands.
• Collaboration with a committed board, a professional federation office, clubs, volunteers, and international partners.
