He continued: "We and the players also felt it was time. He has done a magnificent job, taking us to an ICC Trophy win, two European Championships and our first win in a World Cup."
He added it was hoped the new coach could be announced in around six weeks. "We want to take time to get the right man." Peter Cantrell, the former Queensland opener and Netherlands batting coach, will oversee the team until a successor is appointed.
Meanwhile the Dutch national team will not return to Cape Town for their annual off-season training camp, because of budget constraints.
