In 2024, Kent County Cricket Club will compete in the 2024 County Championship, the 2024 One-Day Cup and the 2024 T20 Blast. The season was the eighth in charge for head coach, and former player, Matthew Walker. Sam Billings stepped down as club captain, signed a white-ball only contract and retained captaincy of the Twenty20 side.[1] Daniel Bell-Drummond was named as the 36th men's Captain of Kent Cricket.[2] Paul Downton retired as Director of Cricket at the end of the 2023 season,[3] and was replaced by bowling coach Simon Cook.[4] Former Kent bowler Robbie Joseph replaced Cook as bowling coach.[5] Batting coach Alex Gidman left his role to become assistant coach with the England women's team.[6] Gidman was replaced by Toby Radford.[7]
Squad
Departures
Michael Hogan retired from cricket at the end of the 2023 season.[8] Wicket-keeper Jordan Cox signed for Essex.[9] Alex Blake, who made his debut for Kent in 2008, and James Logan were both released by the county after the 2023 season.[10]
Arrivals
In June 2023, Kent announced that England leg-spinner Matt Parkinson would join from Lancashire at the end of the season.[11] In 2023, Parkinson played on loan for Kent in the One Day Cup.[12] In October 2023, Kent announced the signing of bowler George Garrett.[13] The following month, Kent signed bowler Michael Cohen, a South African who qualifies as a non-overseas player through residency.[14]
Kent re-signed Australian fast bowler Wes Agar for the first four months of the season, having represented the county in 2023.[15] Kent also signed a second Australian fast bowler for the first half of the season, Xavier Bartlett, who had played alongside Sam Billings for Brisbane Heat during Big Bash 13.[16] However, Cricket Australia withdrew permission for Bartlett's Championship stint the day before the start of the season.[17] Kent signed South African all-rounder Beyers Swanepoel from 1 May.[18] It was later announced that Bartlett would join up with Kent for eight matches in the 2024 T20 Blast.[19] On 1 May, Kent announced a fourth overseas player, with Australian pace bowler Charlie Stobo signing a contract until 16 September, making him available for all formats.[20]
On 28 June, Kent signed Essex batsman Feroze Khushi on a short-term loan deal to play one match in the County Championship and three in the T20 Blast.[21] On 4 July, Kent signed their fifth overseas player of the season, with Australian bowler Tom Rogers joining the club for the remainder of the T20 Blast.[22] Rogers arrived after Bartlett's spell had ended and Wes Agar had been forced to leave due to injury.[23]
Swanepoel left the club after the conclusion of the One Day Cup due to being selected for South Africa A.[24] He was replaced by West Indian fast bowler Akeem Jordan for the remainder of the County Championship fixtures.[25] Somerset bowler Alfie Ogborne joined Kent on loan for two Championship matches from 21 August.[26]
