New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne to return to Kent for the T20 season

Adam Milne will return to Kent for the 2018 T20 season.

The New Zealand fast bowler is rejoining after playing for the club in the 2017 competition.

He took a club record of 5/11 against Somerset last summer and claimed 15 wickets at an average of 12.46.

The 25-year-old said: “I’m delighted to re-join Kent for the Vitality Blast and play at The Spitfire Ground again.

“We were really disappointed to come out on the wrong end of so many close matches last summer and with such a talented squad, we’ll be looking to make amends.”

Director of cricket Paul Downton said: “Adam had an excellent first season at Kent so we’re delighted to secure his services again for 2018.

“Bowlers of Adam’s pace and skill are rare and we believe he can be a match-winner for us in this format.”

It is the third signing for the club in eight days after South African batsman Heino Kuhn signed on a Kolpack deal last Wednesday and New Zealand bowler Matt Henry was announced on Wednesday for the first half of the season.
