In 2016, Kent County Cricket Club competed in Division Two of the County Championship, the Royal London One-Day Cup and the NatWest t20 Blast. The season was the fifth, and last, in charge for head coach Jimmy Adams and the first for new club captain Sam Northeast, who took over from Robert Key at the end of the 2015 season, having captained the side on the field for much of the season.[1]

Squad

Departures

In October 2015, Kent Cricket Academy graduate and England Under-19 wicket-keeper Ryan Davies left the club, signing for Somerset in search of more regular first XI cricket.[2][3] All-rounder Ben Harmison was released in February after four seasons with Kent.[4][5] On 18 April 2016, former captain Rob Key announced his retirement from playing.[6] Key had spent his entire career with Kent and captained the side for nine years over two spells. He also represented England at international level, and scored a total of 19,419 first-class runs since his debut in 1998.[7]

Arrivals

Former Hampshire and Gloucestershire wicket-keeper Adam Rouse signed for Kent in January on a two-year contract.[8] Rouse had previously played for Kent's Second XI in 2014, and returned for a trial in April 2015 as cover for Sam Billings.[9][10] Billings missed almost the first two months of the season due to being drafted by the Delhi Daredevils franchise for the 2016 Indian Premier League season.[11]

In February, Kent announced the signing of two overseas players. First the club announced that South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada would have a spell with Kent from late June until the end of July, between international commitments. The young bowler impressed during England's tour of South Africa, which had recently concluded.[12][13] A few days later, the club announced the signing of New Zealand international batsman Tom Latham to play in all three competitions during the season.[14][15] Latham's last match before joing up with his national team for a tour of Zimbabwe was a T20 fixture against Gloucestershire on 8 July. In 2015, the squad had not featured anyone classified as an overseas player.[13][16]

After Rouse suffered a hand injury in June, and Billings was called into the England T20 squad, former Sussex wicket-keeper Callum Jackson was signed in early July. Kent would otherwise have been without a wicket-keeper in their County Championship match against Essex at the beginning of the month.[17] Jackson had played as a substitute wicket-keeper during the Championship match at Glamorgan in June following Rouse's injury.[18]

In late July, Kent announced the signing of Will Gidman from Nottinghamshire on a one-month loan deal. The former Gloucestershire all-rounder had recently returned from injury and would be available for four One-Day Cup games and two County Championship matches.[19] Captain Sam Northeast stated that Gidman's signing would bolster the side's resources with Calum Haggett and Fabian Cowdrey unavailable through injury.[20] Having impressed during this spell, Gidman's loan deal was extended for the remaining three matches of the season.[21]

On 19 August, Kent announced the signing of South Africa international fast-bowler Hardus Viljoen as the overseas player for the final four County Championship matches of the season, with the club citing a number of injuries to bowlers over the course the season as the reason for the signing.[22][23]

Following the end of the season, fast bowlers David Griffiths and Sam Weller were released by Kent, neither having their contracts renewed,[24] whilst 40-year old all-rounder Darren Stevens signed a new one-year contract to extend his time at the county.[25] In October head coach Jimmy Adams also left the county to return to his native Jamaica.[26] After his loan spell, Will Gidman signed a permanent contract with Kent in October 2016 having been released by Nottinghamshire.[27][28]

County Championship

Kent played 16 County Championship matches in 2016, playing once at home and once away against each of the other eight counties in Division Two. Six home matches were played at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury, with one match at both the Nevill Ground in Tunbridge Wells and the County Cricket Ground, Beckenham. The county won five games, drew eight and lost only twice in the Championship, finishing second to Essex County Cricket Club. In previous years a second-place finish would have led to promotion to Division One of the Championship, but 2016 saw a rebalancing of the number of teams in each division and, as a result, only one team was promoted.

Kent's match against Worcestershire at New Road in April was abandoned without a ball bowled due to a water-logged outfield. This match was classed as a draw and five points were awarded to each side.[30]
