personal information
“Earlier this year in Zimbabwe, Scott Edwards led Netherlands from the front in the qualifying campaign. The Dutch wicketkeeper-batter helped his side get to the showpiece tournament against the odds. For the Netherlands, he was the second-top scorer in the tournament. He scored 314 runs at an average of 62.80 and a strike rate of 112.4. Edwards’ superior skills in dealing with the spin among his teammates will make him a player to watch out for in Indian conditions in the Cricket World Cup 2023. Like many other wicketkeepers, Edwards is an excellent player of sweep shots. He can play various versions of the stroke. He may cause a few headaches to captains and spinners on what fields during the matches. Also, against the seamers, he has a unique range of shots. Like Suryakumar Yadav, he can hit ramp shots and an effective pickup shot. For his side, his contributions to the lower-middle order will be crucial.
One-day memory: 86 (120) vs Afghanistan in Doha (2022)
One more thing: Scott Edwards was born in Tonga. It is a small island in the South Pacific. Edwards’ father’s side is from the Netherlands. His mother’s side is from Australia. For 18 years, he grew up in Australia. His passion for keeping came because of his urge to be in action.”
