From The Pavilion

Welcome to the Happy Dressing Room, a brand new award series where we go beyond the cricket pitch and bring you the lighter side of the Dutch cricket team! Inspired by real Nepal Cricket team coach Monty Desai, this concept was implemented to recognize players for their performances.

After each tour from now on, we will use this happy dressing room to present awards to the players.

So you're looking to hand out happy endings after a tour...
