Bowling all-rounder Pieter Seelar will take over the reins from Borren while Jeroen Smits has been named as the new team manager.

Announcing his decision the call time on his career, Borren wrote, “It has been my absolute privilege to play and lead this team and I'm so proud of what we have achieved.  I've feel very lucky indeed.
