Cooper is one of several international players who ply their trade in Australia, but are eligible to play for Netherlands on paternity issues.
Born on November 26, 1986, Cooper is a right handed batsman who can also bowl useful off-breaks. He is a regular in the Southern Redbacks team and has made Adelaide Oval his home. Cooper emerged in the Australian domestic scene with several top performances but it was his knock of 160 for the Prime Ministers XI against the visiting West Indies team in February, 2010 that made the selectors recognize his talent.
