Seeing that neither Billings nor Crawley are in the t20 squad are they able to play for Kent on Friday and Sunday
The Club can confirm that Zak Crawley will be available for Kent Spitfires’ two remaining Vitality Blast group matches against Middlesex and Sussex Sharks this week, following his recent stint with England’s Men’s ODI team.
Last week I mentioned that Jaskaran Singh was potentially the one fast bowler that could make it as a pro. I really wasn't expecting him to make his 1st team debut a matter of days later! There is one other to keep an eye on albeit that it will be a few years before he follows in Jas's footsteps.
His name is Barney Ford. He plays for Dartford 1s, is probably about 6' 2'', a left armer (always useful to have one of those) and possesses a lovely easy action. He played this week in a 3 day game against Middlesex for the Kent U18s and returned figures of 22-4-63-3. He's only 15 and he's not short of pace now so who knows how fast he will be when he fills out and stops growing!
How fantastic would it be to see those two opening the bowling for Kent in three or four years time!

Any idea what the team for the T20 will look like ?
Are they sticking with the CC squad or are more club players being looked at ?
Crawley will come in and probably for Joe Gordon. They might go for one or two more experienced white ball players too from Club cricket who have also played 2s cricket this season. However with, as expected, Crawley, Finch, O'Riordan, Kuhn, Podmore, Qadri and Quinn in the side that leaves just four places up for grabs - a keeper, a batsman and two pace bowlers. Not sure about the fitness of Groenwald and Stewart either but they could, in theory and provided they aren't grouped with the Covid 11, fill the last two positions.
Hooper of Bickley is included in the 13 man squad as well as Finch, Gordon and Lincoln from the debutants in the Sussex match. I might be wrong but the only keeper I can see is Kuhn - I believe that this will be the first time he has kept for us

He looks a very good player. Hope he gets a chance. Decent bat and better slh bowler.

Lincoln keeps. I knew that he was a goalkeeper but not a wicket keeper!

5th wicketkeeper used this season by Kent and only half way through July - is this a record ?

Excellent article from Dobell in the Hundred.
Sorry.
