Johan Botha Appointed Netherlands Consultant for World Cup League 2

The former South Africa captain will work with the Dutch set-up to prepare the team for the late‑July Utrecht tri‑series as part of the World Cup qualification pathway.

Overview

The Royal Dutch Cricket Association confirmed Botha's appointment on Wednesday, July 8, as a short‑term consultant for the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tri‑series in Utrecht.
Botha said he looks forward to joining the Netherlands team and working with players, coaches and staff during the campaign.
KNCB High Performance Board member Sybrand Engelbrecht welcomed the hire and highlighted Botha's coaching résumé across the PSL, BBL, MLC, CPL and Queensland cricket.
The Utrecht series will be played at Kampong Cricket Club in late July with the Netherlands due to open against Nepal and the squad expected to be named shortly after July 9.
Local reporting says Botha resigned his Queensland Bulls and Brisbane Heat roles to be available for the Dutch engagement, and his arrival gives the Netherlands a high‑profile coaching boost during an important World Cup qualifying window.
