    What's the story

    Netherlands have added former World Cup-winning coach Gary Kirsten and T20 veteran Dan Christian to their coaching staff for the ICC T20 World Cup.

    Kirsten was India's head coach during their titular run in the 2011 WC.

    Meanwhile, Christian has experience with the Aussie conditions, having aced the proceedings in the Big Bash League.

    Netherlands will play their opener against UAE on October 16.

    Information

    Cook-Kirsten have worked alongside each other in the past

    Netherlands' head coach Ryan Cook worked extensively with Kirsten in his academy in Cape Town for a number of years. The Dutch squad even held a training camp at Kirsten's academy in late September. Meanwhile, Christian joined the team in Adelaide after the Dutchmen arrived.

    Kirsten's record as a coach in T20 World Cup

    Kirsten has been a part of three T20 World Cups as a head coach.

    He was with Team India in the 2009 and 2010 editions before being a part of the Proteas in 2012.

    However, Kirsten's sides have failed to get past the semi-finals.

    He coached Welsh Fire in the second season of The Hundred, only to wind up with a 0-8 win-loss record.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Netherlands lost all three matches in the first round at the 2021 T20 WC.

    Even though Kirsten and Christian have come in for short-term roles, it is a welcoming move that could change Netherlands' fortunes.

    Christian is the most-capped BBL player (121 matches) and a multiple-time winner.

    Meanwhile, Kirsten was lately a part of the Gujarat Titans in their titular campaign in IPL 2022.

    He added, "I was impressed with the level of skill and professionalism during the camp. They will be ready and determined to make a big impact at the T20 World Cup."
