Born in Haarlem, North Holland, Kloppenburg played six One Day Internationals for the Netherlands, from September 2002 till March 2003.
Kloppenburg made his first-class cricket debut in the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup game against Ireland at Deventer.
He appeared in six of the Netherlands' ten games in the 2001 ICC Trophy, but scored only one half-century and had been dropped by the time the Dutch team beat Namibia in the final.
Five months later, he played a fuller part in the Netherlands' 2003 World Cup squad, with five appearances in the competition.
Kloppenburg then completed a fine all-round performance by claiming 4/42 with the ball, making him only the sixth player to score a hundred and take four wickets in the same ODI.
