But De Leede qualifies as a local. He played for the MCC Young Cricketers in 2019 and is understood to have his position in the UK already sealed.
Established itself on the international stage:-
“At just 23, Bass has already established himself on the international stage with his performances in the recent T20 World Cup,” North said.
“He is a genuine all-rounder and brings quality and skill that will strengthen our playing squad in the T20 Blast and provide depth in our County Championship.”
He is the second Netherlands player to follow Campbell at Durham after pacer Brandon Glover, who signed a two-year contract last month.
KNCB said in a statement:-
KNCB said in a statement that De Leede would still be available for the 2023 World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe in June-July.
“I am really looking forward to joining Durham for the next two seasons,” Bas De said. “I can’t wait to get to the UK and meet the rest of the players.
