Born in The Hague, de Fouw played club cricket for KZKC (Klein Zwitserland de Krekels Combinatie).[4] Her Dutch national team debut came in the 1986 Women's Quadrangular Tournament in Ireland, where she played against Ireland and Denmark.[5] De Fouw made her ODI debut aged 25, at the 1991 European Championship, which was being held in the Netherlands for the first time.[6]
Aged 42 at the time of her last ODI, de Fouw is the oldest woman to appear in an ODI for the Netherlands,[7] and her ODI career span of almost 17 years has only been surpassed by fourteen women worldwide.[8]
In April 2008, de Fouw served as a coach for the ICC European Women's Academy in La Manga Club, Spain.[9] She later gained a Level-3 coaching diploma from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB),[10] and has worked in various development roles with the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB), the governing body for Dutch cricket.[11]
In June 2018, she returned to international cricket for the first time since 2008, playing for the Netherlands at the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.[12] She was at the time the oldest woman from any country to appear in a Twenty20 International.[13]
