A Dutch-born Australian cricketer, Timm van der Gugten, played for Tasmania and was also a part of the Netherlands cricket team. He first played First-class cricket for the New South Wales cricket team. Since he holds a Netherlands passport, it enabled him to play for the Netherlands national cricket team.
Van der Gugten made his T20I debut for Netherlands against Canada in March 2012. In the same month, he made his ODI debut against Afghanistan. His best ODI performance so far, came against Canada in August 2013 when he picked up his first 5-wicket haul in a match that Netherlands comfortably won by 9 wickets. He was also the player of the match for that game for his brilliant figures of 5 for 24.
