Faf du Plessis was found guilty of a Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct after television footage appeared to show him apply an "artificial substance" to the ball during the second Test against Australia in Hobart.
The Proteas captain had a mint sweet in his mouth at the time.
The ICC confirms the hearing date for Faf du Plessis’ appeal will be Monday 19 December. Michael Beloff QC has been appointed Judicial Commissioner to hear the appeal.
Legal counsel for both parties will attend in Dubai, whilst Mr du Plessis will join via telephone.
The ICC will publish the result of the hearing through its usual channels and will not be making any further comment until that time.
