Max O'Dowd

The Netherlands opening batter has been key in the Dutch side's success in the ODIs and T20Is. The New Zealand-born O'Dowd made his Netherlands debut in 2015 against Papua New Guinea in a T20 game. It took him over four years to make it into the Dutch ODI side. The wait was worth it as the right-handed batter announced himself in some style. He started his ODI career with 86 not out and 59 against Zimbabwe in June 2019, and then two years later in 2021, when he played his third ODI, he smoked 82 against Scotland in Rotterdam. The 29-year-old is a compact batter who loves to put a prize on his wicket and it is his ability to take the game deep that has made him one of the crucial members of the Dutch side. In the 33 ODIs he has played, the right-handed batter has amassed 1158 runs with an average of 37.35, including ten half-centuries. However, he is yet to reach the triple-figure, but he has everything in his batting to reach the feat.
