Noffke Leaves Role with Pakistan's Cricket Team to Take over as Netherlands Coach
Noffke signed a two-year deal and will lead the Dutch toward qualification for the 2027 ODI and 2028 T20 World Cups.
- On Wednesday, The Royal Dutch Cricket Association appointed former Australian cricketer Ashley Noffke as head coach of the Netherlands men's team. The 49-year-old signed a two-year contract through 2028.
- Noffke succeeds Ryan Cook, who is stepping down to spend more time with his family. The former Australia international recently resigned from Pakistan's white-ball bowling coach role after approximately 16 months.
- As a coach, Noffke won a WBBL title and two Coach of the Year awards with Brisbane Heat, a WNCL championship with Queensland Fire, and The Hundred title with London Spirit. He scored 3,766 First-Class runs and took 386 wickets playing.
- Emphasizing "connection before tactics," Noffke said his approach aims to continue the program's development. The Dutch have qualified for six T20 World Cups but only one 50-over World Cup since 2011.
- During his time with Pakistan, Noffke worked alongside head coach Mike Hesson as the team reached the T20 World Cup Super Eights and Asia Cup final. He brings prior coaching experience from Australia and New Zealand.
