Dutch coach Marco van Basten has named an initial 30-man party for Euro 2008.

Van Basten has made no surprise choices in his squad although Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt is breathing slightly easier after being included.

Kuyt had been omitted from previous squads but he is now back in the reckoning to make the trip to Austria & Switzerland.

Van Basten will now consider his options before naming his final 23-man selection.
