Vivian Kingma suspended by the ICC
Published at 22 September, 2025International fastbowler Vivian Kingma has been suspended for three months by the ICC effective August 15th due to a breach of the ICC anti-doping code.
The KNCB (Royal Dutch Cricket Association) will take over this suspension. This means that Vivian may not engage in any cricket-related activities during this period.
Although this violation was not committed during a match, the KNCB considers this behaviour, particularly for a leading international player and youth coach, unacceptable within the KNCB's standards and values.
Vivian has indicated that he is working to prevent recurrence. We will monitor this progress and, at the end of the suspension, decide whether and how we can reinstate him within the KNCB.
