Netherlands have named the 23-man squad that will travel to Poland and Ukraine for this summer's European Championship.
Coach Bert van Marwijk had initially selected a provisional group of 36 players, before trimming nine men on the grounds of the form they had showed according to the former Feyenoord boss last Tuesday.
However, he has now announced his final squad to represent the Oranje at Euro 2012, which includes the omissions of Ajax duo Vurnon Anita and Siem de Jong, AZ starlet Adam Maher and PSV attacker Jeremain Lens.
Only Luciano Narsingh and Jetro Willems have had no previous international experience in the Netherlands set-up, with Van Marwijk opting to keep the fulcrum of the side intact.
Netherlands have been drawn in the Euro 2012 Group B, together with Germany, Denmark and Portugal, before facing friendly opposition in the form of Bulgaria, Slovakia and Northern Ireland.
