Netherlands Bowler Faces Ban For Failing Dope Test

The Netherlands National Cricket Team have made comprehensive improvements in recent years across formats. While they are yet to be introduced to Test cricket, they have aced the ODI and T20I format really well. As far as ICC tournaments as concerned, they have produced several upsets as well, making a mark in the world of cricket.

The Netherlands have produced some classic cricketers in the past, including India's current assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate. However, a recent incident including one of their pace bowlers have come to light where he is banned from cricket. Vivian Kingma, one of Netherlands' experienced pacers, has been banned from cricket.

Why is Vivian Kingma Banned from cricket?

Kingma is banned from cricket for breaching the ICC Anti-Doping Code. The right-arm pacer has been banned for three months after testing positive for Benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite classified as a Substance of Abuse under the ICC Anti-Doping Code.
