Australian bowler Wes Agar to continue with Kent until the end of July and set to make Spitfires T20 Blast bow

An Australian seamer is set to stay with Kent for another two months - a little over a week after his initial deal ended.

Wes Agar will now be available for the rest of their T20 Blast campaign and the County Championship Division 1 matches which fall within the time period, subject to visa confirmation.

The 26-year-old - the younger brother of Australian spinner Ashton Agar - completed his original time at Kent with 12 wickets in four red-ball matches and will now become a fully-fledged Spitfire as he joins their Blast squad.

Agar said: “I’ve loved my time at Kent so far - I’ve felt at home over here and the lads have been great.

“The time has flown by so to be staying on is something I’m stoked to be doing.

“I was in the crowd at The Spitfire Ground to see us beat Gloucestershire [last Wednesday] and the atmosphere was superb.

“If I get my chance to impress in T20s in front of the Kent fans, I’ll absolutely continue to give it my all.”

The news comes with fellow Australian overseas pace bowler Kane Richardson missing tonight’s T20 match against Somerset at Canterbury due to illness while Indian international Arshdeep Singh will be available to play red-ball cricket for Matt Walker’s team in June and July.

Kent director of cricket Paul Downton said: “We are delighted that Wes has agreed to extend his stay with us until the end of July.

“His main focus will continue to be Championship cricket, but he will also join our Vitality Blast squad as cover for Kane Richardson and George Linde.

“By making himself available for the next five Championship matches, it creates the possibility of both Wes and Arshdeep Singh playing together in our Championship team, which will be an exciting prospect for Kent supporters.”
