Tauranga cricketer Tim Pringle has made his international debut.
The 19-year-old made his ODI debut for the Netherlands in the second one-day international against England on June 19.
Pringle, who was in the wider Dutch international squad, was called up to make his international entrance after England thrashed the Netherlands by 234 runs in the opening game of the series.
The Western Bay of Plenty cricketer, who was born in The Hague, took advantage of the ICC criteria, which allows players who qualify for emerging nations, to play for their country of residence at a later date without a stand down period, according to SunLive's Sideline Sid.
When Pringle - BOPCA Player No 536 - made his Bay of Plenty debut against Northland in November 2017, he became the youngest player to earn Bay selection at 15 years and 92 days, taking the record from Kane Williamson by 19 days.
He further wrote his name into the BOP all-time bowling record book, with an additional four second innings wickets, to become the 15th BOP bowler to take ten wickets or better in a match.
Since his Bay of Plenty debut, Pringle has taken 67 wickets from 30 appearances, with his all-round talents recognised at higher levels.
New Zealand Under 19 selection has been followed with NZC Development team selection this season, where he has starred with both bat and ball.
In another notable achievement, Pringle became just the ninth Bay of Plenty bowler to take eight wickets in an innings, in a match at Te Puke Domain.
