Neesham signs for Kent T20 side
Experienced New Zealand international allrounder Jimmy Neesham is to play for English county side Kent in their Twenty20 Blast campaign, it was announced yesterday.
The 26-year-old, who has played over 60 times for his country across all formats of the game, will play alongside compatriot Adam Milne.
“I’m delighted to be joining Kent Spitfires this summer for the T20 Blast,” said Neesham.
“I look forward to entertaining the crowds at Beckenham and The Spitfire Ground and contributing to wins for the team.”
Kent coach Matt Walker said Neesham — who has two Test centuries to his name — would bring some balance to the team for the competition that runs from July 7 to September 2.
