The ICC official statement said that Kingma – for whom it was the first offense in a 24-month period – had admitted his offense and accepted the decision issued by the expert panel and that eliminated the need for any kind of formal hearing. Apart from 4 suspension points that were included in the panel decision, 5 demerit points have also been added to the disciplinary record of Vivian Kingma.

Netherlands fast bowler Vivian Kingma was on Wednesday suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for four ODIs/T20Is for ball-tampering during the third match of the Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League series against Afghanistan in Doha.
“As each suspension point equates to a ban from one ODI or T20I, whatever comes first for the player or player support personnel, Kingma will miss the next four matches that his team plays in either format,” the ICC said in a statement.
