An international cricket star enjoys the food at a Kent restaurant so much that he has visited four times in one week.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has even signed two bats for head chef Fiona Sing at Amici in Ashford.

The 23-year-old is the third youngest cricketer in test history to have two double centuries to his name - and has a staggering 4.5 million followers on Instagram, more than England captain Ben Stokes.

A chuffed Ms Sing told KentOnline: “Both bats are my son’s. One was reconditioned and gifted by my brother who plays cricket for a club in Cornwall.”

Clearly keen on the North Street Italian restaurant’s cuisine, Mr Jaiswal had visited it for the fourth time in a week when he gave the autographs.

The Indian A team is staying at the Ashford International Hotel while it competes against the England Lions.

This is in a four-day match from last Friday to tomorrow (Monday) at the Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence in Canterbury.

Yashasvi Jaiswal gained particular prominence last year when he scored double centuries in two consecutive matches against England in a five-match test series.

He is the third Indian batsman to achieve this.

He plays for the Rajasthan Royals, who are currently ninth in the Indian Premier League.
