Actually, I think most of the Dutch cricketplayers are naturalized from more typical cricket countries like Sri Lanka and India, so it may be a new team, but the origin is the same... Kinda like the hordes of Chinese table-tennis players naturalizing to other nationalities (just check the selections of Belgium, Luxemburg, Denmark, Germany etc) in order to play because the concurrency in their own country is devestating and there's no chance whatsoever to make it to the Chinese national selection.
