Kent skipper Rob Key fully focused on new season
by Andrew Gidley
Rob Key wasted no time this
week getting down to work preparing for the new season.
With Christmas and New Year
celebrations still fresh in the memory – it’s only three months
before Kent’s first game – the skipper is already fully focused on
the summer ahead.
While many parts of the county are
covered by a blanket of snow, indoors at the the Kent Academy at
the St Lawrence was a hive of activity with Key, Martin van
Jaarsveld and Joe Denly all practising in the nets.
Key said: "There are not too many
of the boys around at the moment but Paul Dixey, Matt Coles and
Phil Edwards have been working with us, as well as the Academy
youngsters and a few triallists who write always looking for their
chance show what they can do
"I started before Christmas but the
preparation really begins now.
"The squad, at least those of us in
the country, will be in twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
now on and it’s a chance to hone your skills and get ready for the
summer."
