Story summary

Ashley Noffke, a former Australia international cricketer, has left his position as bowling coach of Pakistan's cricket team to take over as head coach for the Netherlands. The announcement was made on Wednesday when it was revealed that Noffke signed a two-year contract with the Dutch side. His primary task will be to help qualify the Netherlands team for next year’s 50-over World Cup and the T20 World Cup in 2028.

Noffke, who has been coaching Pakistan since 2025, expressed enthusiasm about connecting with a talented and motivated group of players. Before joining Pakistan, he had previously coached teams in England, his native Australia, and New Zealand. Noffke is replacing Ryan Cook, who stepped down to spend more time with his family.

The Netherlands cricket team has secured spots in the last six T20 World Cups but qualified for only one 50-over World Cup since 2011.
