Ingrid Keijzer
Ingrid Keijzer (married name Dulfer-Keijzer; born 22 February 1964) is a former Dutch international cricketer who represented the Dutch national team between 1983 and 1993, including as captain between 1989 and 1990. She played as a right-arm medium-pace bowler.
Keijzer made her international debut for the Netherlands in August 1984, against a Women's Cricket Association XI touring from England.[1] In 1987, she represented the Netherlands in a three-day match against Ireland (an unofficial Test), opening the bowling with Dorine Loman.[2] Keijzer made her One Day International (ODI) debut at the 1988 World Cup in Australia.[3] She was one of only three Dutch players to appear in every match, along with Anita van Lier and Irene Schoof,[4] and was the equal leading wicket-taker for the Netherlands, with Dorine Loman.[5]
Having taken over from Anita van Lier as captain after the World Cup, Keijzer's next ODI appearances came at the 1989 European Cup, where she took six wickets (including 4/20 against Denmark) to finish as her team's leading wicket-taker (and equal third overall).[6] She was also one of the leading bowlers at the 1990 European Cup, ranking second behind Ireland's Susan Bray for wickets taken, and recording career-best figures of 4/14 against Denmark.[7] Keijzer's final international tournament was the 1993 World Cup in England, by which time she had been replaced as captain. She took four wickets from her six matches at the tournament, with a best of 2/20 against Ireland.[3]
