Babette’s association with cricket spans generations.
Her uncle Tim de Ledde, famous for dismissing Sachin Tendulkar in the 2003 Men’s World Cup, is serving as Netherlands women’s assistant coach during the tournament.
Her cousin Boss is a key member of the men’s team, while her father rarely misses a match. Even his grandmother would cheer the team on in the stands in England.
Babette describes her family as highly competitive, with conversations revolving around cricket, football and hockey, making sports an integral part of their lives.
