Netherlands player Vivian Kingma is living the dream of a professional cricketer, and probably many more in the world.

Often the cricketers travel a considerable distance for practices and matches, but what can be a bigger privilege than having an entire stadium attached to your own backyard? Vivian Kingma has that.

Kingma's house is at the Hague, a city in the Netherlands. He lives so near Sportpark Westvliet Cricket Stadium, where his backyard is literally connected to the stadium, where the Dutch team is playing a Tri-series against Ireland and Scotland, as they prepare for the T20 World Cup 2024.

The Netherlands Cricket posted a video on social media, where Kingma can be seen leaving his house and then entering the field within seconds. After a brilliant performance, the video shows him coming back to his house as well.

Kingma, who is playing at his home, started the series in a stellar fashion. He picked up 4 wickets in the first match against Scotland as the Dutch won the match by 41 runs. Although the Dutch have lost the next two, Kingma has added 2 more wickets to his tally in those matches.

The 29-year-old will be hoping to star for his nation in the upcoming T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA. Netherlands are in Group D and will kickstart their campaign against Nepal on June 4. They also have South Africa, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in their group.
