In 2017, Kent County Cricket Club will compete in Division Two of the County Championship, the Royal London One-Day Cup and the NatWest t20 Blast. In addition, before the start of the English cricket season, Kent competed in the 2016–17 Regional Super50, the List A competition of the West Indian domestic season.[1] This was the first time that any English county had competed in an overseas domestic competition.[2] The invitation to take part in the tournament was largely due to the influence of former West Indian captain Jimmy Adams who had been Kent's Head Coach until September 2016.[2]

The season is the first in charge for new head coach, and former player, Matthew Walker.[3] Former South African fast-bowler Allan Donald was announced as the new assistant coach, but his arrival was delayed while he works towards the ECB level three qualification he requires to gain the visa necessary to take up the role.[3][4] Former Yorkshire coach, and Australia fast-bowler, Jason Gillespie was later appointed as assistant coach on an interim basis.[5] It was later announced that Donald would not be joining up with Kent until 2018.[6] Sam Northeast has retained the club captaincy for a second season.[7]

Squad

Departures

Fast bowler David Griffiths left the club at the end of his contract in September 2016 after three seasons with Kent.[8][9] Academy graduate Sam Weller left the club without having played for the first XI (he had played 6 First Class matches for Oxford MCCU during his time with Kent).[8] Hardus Viljoen, who had a brief spell with Kent as an overseas player at the end of the 2016 season, signed a Kolpak deal with Derbyshire. Reports suggest that Kent had first refusal on signing Viljoen, but opted not to match Derbyshire's offer.[10]

On the eve of the season Fabian Cowdrey left the club by mutual consent to pursue opportunities outside of cricket.[11][12]

Arrivals

Having impressed while on loan at the county in 2016, Will Gidman signed a permanent contract with Kent in October 2016 after he was released by Nottinghamshire.[13][14] Academy wicket-keeper Ollie Robinson made his senior debut for the county in the final match of the 2016–17 Regional Super50 tournament after being called into the touring squad as cover for Adam Rouse with Sam Billings away on England duty.[15][16] On 14 March, Kent announced the signing of former England Under 19 captain Joe Weatherley on loan from Hampshire for the 2017 season.[17][18] Middlesex fast bowler James Harris followed as another loan signing on 4 April, initially for the first three County Championship matches and the first section of the 2017 Royal London One-Day Cup.[19][20]

On 10 April, Kent announced the signing of South African international left-arm fast bowler Wayne Parnell, who had previously played for the county during the 2009 season, as an overseas player on a short-term contract. Parnell was available to play in the County Championship and Royal London One-Day Cup until he joined up with the South African national team when they began their tour of England in May.[21][22]

On 24 May, Kent announced the signing of New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne as their overseas player for the second half of the season after the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy that was taking place in England and Wales during the first half of June.[23][24] Milne will be available for County Championship and T20 Blast matches. On 5 June, Kent signed another overseas player, Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah.[25][26] Yasir signed a short-term deal making him available for four County Championship matches in June and July before the start of the T20 Blast. This left Kent with two overseas players from the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy until the start of the T20 Blast, during which time they played three Championship matches (Shah and Milne); only one could play in each of these matches.[25] Kent announced another overseas signing on 26 June, with New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham joining for the T20 Blast campaign, in which Neesham and Milne will both be available to play (as two overseas players per team are allowed in this competition).[27]

Australian-born fast-bowling all-rounder Graham Stewart signed his first professional contract with Kent at the end of August after impressing while on trial with the second XI as well as in the Kent Premier League with Sandwich Town. He is not classed as an overseas player as he holds an EU passport through his Italian mother.[28]

Regional Super50

At the beginning of the year, Kent competed in the 2016–17 Regional Super50, a List A tournament that is part of the West Indian domestic season, after accepting an invitation from the West Indies Cricket Board.[1] The competition took place between 24 January and 18 February. It was the first time that Kent had competed in an overseas competition.

Kent were drawn in Group A, and played two matches against each of the other teams in the group: Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Windward Islands and the West Indies under-19 cricket team. Group B included the other three regular teams of West Indian domestic cricket (Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica) and two development sides (Combined Campuses and Colleges and ICC Americas).

Kent began the tournament with a seven wicket loss to the Leeward islands at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua before consecutive wins against Trinidad and Tobago and Windward Islands.[29][30][31] Four consecutive losses saw the county knocked out of the tournament at the group stage before a win in their final match of the competition.[32] The tournament was viewed by Kent as an opportunity for warm weather preparation for the English domestic season.[33][34]

County Championship

Kent will play 14 County Championship Division Two matches in 2017. The Championship has been restructured for 2017, with Division Two having ten teams, leaving the remaining eight counties in Division One instead of the previous nine-nine split. Teams in both divisions will play fewer matches than in 2016 (14 instead of 16), meaning that teams in Division Two will play five of their rivals twice and the other four teams only once during the season.[36]

Kent's opening fixture was at home against Gloucestershire, starting on 7 April at the St Lawrence Ground, a match they won by 334 runs after bowling Gloucestershire out for a total of 61 in their second innings with Darren Stevens taking 6/22.[37] They will play seven home matches in total, five at the St Lawrence Ground and one each at the Nevill Ground in Tunbridge Wells and the County Cricket Ground, Beckenham.[38] One fixture, an away game against Nottinghamshire, will be a Day-Night match, part of an experiment by the England and Wales Cricket Board ahead of the staging of the first UK Day-Night Test match in August.[36][39]

Royal London One-Day Cup

Kent competed in the South group of the 2017 Royal London One-Day Cup. They played each of the other eight teams in the group once, with all four home games being played at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury.[38] A disappointing campaign[48] saw Kent finish bottom of the table, with just a single win against Middlesex. After an early elimination, the starting eleven increasingly featured fringe squad players, particularly in the bowling department, and academy graduate batsman Zak Crawley made his senior debut in the final match against Essex.[49]

Daniel Bell-Drummond had a good tournament, scoring successive centuries against Somerset and Sussex, as well as two half centuries. Alex Blake also scored a century against Somerset, his first in List A cricket, reaching 116 from just 58 balls. Darren Stevens, on his 300th List A appearance, blasted a career-high 147 from just 67 deliveries (including 10 fours and 14 sixes) against Glamorgan at Swansea, almost leading Kent to an unlikely victory.[50]
