Whakakī i te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te mea i whakaitihia tana mahi i Ahitereiria na te whara, i takaro a Drinnen i etahi waa hei ngaio mo Forfarshire i te Scottish National Cricket League (SNCL), ana i muri mai ka whakangungu i te roopu. I te Hakihea 2003, i tohua ia hei kaiwhakahaere hangarau mo te Scottish Cricket Union (SCU), te roopu whakahaere o te hakinakina i Scotland. I mahi a Drinnen i tenei tuunga tae noa ki te Hanuere 2006, i te wa i whai mana ai ia ki a Andy Moles hei kaiako mo te kapa motu o Scotland. I whakangungu ia i a Scotland i te
2007 World Cup, me te wikitoria o te kapa i te whakataetae. I whakarere a Drinnen i tana mahi i te Hurae 2007, i te mea kaore i tino manakohia e etahi o nga mema o te roopu. I hoki mai ia ki tana mahi o mua hei kaiwhakahaere hangarau, i te wa i riro ai a Andy Tennant me Peter Steindl i te roopu mo te wa poto, me Steindl e mau tonu ana i te tuunga mai i te Tihema 2007. I whakaingoatia a Drinnen hei kaiako mo Netherlands i te Hanuere 2008, hei whakakapi i te kaiako matua o mua a Peter Cantrell me te tango i te kaiako mahi a Paul-Jan Bakker. I noho ia ki te tuunga tae noa ki tana wehenga i te Oketopa 2013, i te mea i whakangungu ia i te taha i te 2009 me te 2012 World Twenty20s, me te 2011 World Cup.
