Van Beek hungry for further honours
Logan van Beek says he will arrive at Derbyshire ahead of the 2019 season eager to prove himself and earn further international recognition with New Zealand.
The all-rounder, who has represented New Zealand at Under-19 level as well as through development squads, feels he is now ready to push for a spot in the full national side.
He will be available for all forms throughout the summer for Derbyshire and is looking forward ton testing himself in different conditions in England.
He said: “I’ve always seen county cricket as somewhere I’d love to go and play.
“In my short stints playing club cricket in England I’ve watched games and seen how well supported they are.
“That’s something we do miss a bit in New Zealand and I’m really looking forward to experiencing it and the chance to compete in a new environment and different conditions.
“Through my father I have a Dutch passport and fortunately had opportunities to play for the Netherlands, which has been an awesome experience.
“But in the last year or so I’ve really come on with my game and have started to get attention from the New Zealand selectors back home.
“It’s a childhood dream to play for New Zealand and it’s something I’m pushing for.
“By playing the amount of cricket that a county season has, hopefully I can find form and push my name forward.”
