Noah Roderick Joseph Croes (born 13 December 1999) is a Dutch cricketer.[1]

Career

Croes was born in Amsterdam to a Dutch father and Australian mother, who brought him up bilingual.[2] He grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He played in the Victorian under-18 state championships in 2018 for the Inner East Emus, and scored a century in the final.[3] He later represented Victoria in the Australian under-19 national championships.[4] Croes played senior cricket in Victorian Premier Cricket for Melbourne University along Dutch international captain Scott Edwards.[5] He scored his maiden century for the club in December 2021.[4]

Croes spent the 2022 winter playing cricket in the United Kingdom, then in 2023 he returned to the Netherlands to live in The Hague and play for Voorburg Cricket Club.[5] In May 2023, he was selected to play for the Dutch national side in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[6][7] He played one match for the tournament, making his One Day International debut on 9 July 2023, against Sri Lanka.[8] At this tournament, the Netherlands qualified for the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and in September 2023 Croes was named as travelling reserve for their squad.[9][10] Ahead of the Netherlands' final match for the tournament against hosts India, he was brought into the 15-player squad to replace the injured Ryan Klein,[11] but he didn't feature in the match.[12]

In February 2024, Croes was selected in the Netherland's Twenty20 squad for the 2024 Nepal Tri-Nation Series.[13] He made his Twenty20 International debut against Nepal at Kirtipur on 28 February 2024.[14]
