Netherlands announce Champions Trophy squad

October 19, 2012

Jeroen Hertzberger recalled to Dutch set-up

Netherlands coach Paul van Ass has confirmed the Netherlands squad that will compete in the 2012 Men's FIH Champions Trophy, which takes place in the Australian city of Melbourne later this year.

The squad sees a return to the international fold for Quirijn Caspers, Floris van der Linden, Seve van Ass and H.C. Rotterdam captain Jeroen Hertzberger, who was arguably the biggest name left out of The Netherlands selection that claimed the Silver medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Recent retirements ensured that there were always going to be some notable absences from the Dutch team, with the familiar names of Teun de Nooijer, Floris Evers and Roderick Weusthof not in the group. The squad is also missing midfielder Robert van der Horst, who is excused due to the imminent arrival of his second child.
