Overview

Vivian Jilling Kingma (born 23 October 1994) is a Dutch cricketer who has represented the Netherlands in international cricket across formats. He featured for the Netherlands at the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 tournament early in his career.

Kingma was initially named in the Netherlands squad for the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in July 2015, but was subsequently replaced by Roelof van der Merwe. He made his Twenty20 International debut against Scotland on 5 February 2016. In December 2017, while playing for the Netherlands against Namibia in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship, he claimed a hat-trick and his maiden five-wicket haul in List A cricket.

In July 2019, Kingma was selected to play for the Rotterdam Rhinos in the inaugural edition of the Euro T20 Slam, although the tournament was cancelled the following month. In April 2020, he was named among seventeen Dutch-based cricketers in the senior squad of the Netherlands. He was also included in the Netherlands squad for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, announced in May 2024.

In January 2022, during the Netherlands' ODI series against Afghanistan held in Qatar, Kingma was banned for four matches after being found guilty of ball tampering in the third ODI. In September 2025, he was suspended for three months for an anti-doping breach, after testing positive for Benzoylecgonine following a match against the United Arab Emirates in the Cricket World Cup League 2; the suspension carried the possibility of being reduced to one month upon completion of a treatment programme.
