Gerritsen made her senior debut for the Netherlands at the age of 19, on a tour of England in July 1992.[1] Selected in the Dutch squad for the 1993 World Cup in England, she played in four of a possible seven matches.[2] Although primarily in the team as a bowler, Gerritsen was given only 20 overs across her matches. In the last match of the tournament, against England, she took 3/38 from 12 overs,[3] which were her only wickets of the competition.[4] Gerritsen's only other ODIs came at the 1995 European Championship in Ireland.[2] She opened the bowling with Jet van Noortwijk in the first match against England, but was unable to repeat her earlier performance against that team, going wicketless.[5] She improved against Ireland, taking 1/40 from nine overs,[6] but saved her best performance for the last match against Denmark, taking 3/21 from ten overs in what was to be her final ODI.[7] Gerritsen finished with an ODI career bowling average of 24.85.[8]
