The county's chief executive Mark Newton called him "a very accomplished and exciting young talent", while Dutch bowling coach Ian Pont claimed that the youngster's story had "shades of Graeme Hick" about it.
Kervezee was a permanent fixture in the Worcestershire side throughout the 2010 season and consistently impressed with the bat, scoring quickly and showing stroke-making abilities of the highest order.
Kervezee rose rapidly and smartly through age-group cricket in the Netherlands, and in late July 2005, aged only 15, he made his first-class debut for his national team against Scotland in the Intercontinental Cup.
It was a chastening experience overall for the Dutch team as Sri Lanka piled up 443/9, a world record ODI score, [7] but in the Netherlands' reply Kervezee played well for 47, putting on 69 (the highest partnership of the innings) with Tim de Leede.
Kervezee played several Under-17 and Under-19 matches over the following days, as well as one game against Italy in the European Cricket Championship, then in early August he returned to ODI action with small scores against Scotland and Ireland.
