Adam Ball agrees new contract with Kent County Cricket Club
Comments |
Kent academy student Adam Ball has signed a new three-year
professional deal with the club.
The 16-year-old all-rounder is a member of the ECB Fast Bowling
Elite group and recently represented England at the ICC Under-19
World Cup in New Zealand.
Kent team director Paul Farbrace said Ball's new contract was
a tremendous achievement for such a young player.
He said: "It will provide him with a fabulous chance to develop
his game within the first-team squad.
"Beths Grammar School and Bexley Cricket Club must take great
credit for helping to develop a talented young cricketer and his
development further outlines that our academy is continuing to
produce fine home-grown cricketers.”
Acting chief executive Jamie Clifford said Ball was a good
example of what can be achieved with hard work and dedication.
He said: "I would like to thank all of the volunteers within the
Bexley district.
"They have helped nurture and develop a young cricketer who has
the ability to become a Kent regular for many years to come."
