Adrianus Petrus van Troost (born 2 October 1972) is a Dutch businessman and former cricketer.
A right-arm fast bowler, van Troost represented his nation at the ICC Trophy level between 1990 and 1997, taking thirteen wickets in nine matches at a bowling average of 17.38.
He took 3/27 for the Netherlands in their surprise victory against the West Indies in a limited-over match in 1991, his wickets including Richie Richardson and Jeff Dujon.
[3] On Test Match Special on 30 June 2010, Mark Butcher stated that at The Oval in around 1995 van Troost had bowled the fastest spell of bowling he had ever faced, describing the express Pakistani pace bowler Waqar Younis as looking like "a medium pace bowler by comparison".
In September 2008, van Troost was appointed as the chief executive of the Royal Dutch Cricket Association[4] but resigned less than five months later to resume his business career.
