Born in The Hague, de Fouw played her club cricket for KZKC (Klein Zwitserland de Krekels Combinatie).[1] Her Dutch national team debut came in the 1986 Women's Quadrangular Tournament in Ireland, where she played against Ireland and Denmark.[2] De Fouw made her ODI debut aged 25, at the 1991 European Championship, which was being held in the Netherlands for the first time.[3]

Aged 42 at the time of her last ODI, de Fouw is by far the oldest women to appear in an ODI for the Netherlands,[4] and her ODI career span of almost 17 years has only been surpassed by seven women worldwide.[5] She is the oldest woman from any country to appear in a Twenty20 International, with Pamela Lavine the only other to have appeared past the age of 40.[6]

In April 2008, de Fouw served as a coach for the ICC European Women's Academy in La Manga Club, Spain.[7] She later gained a Level-3 coaching diploma from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB),[8] and has worked in various development roles with the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB), the governing body for Dutch cricket.[9]

In June 2018, she was named in the Netherlands' squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.[10]
