The right-arm seamer also featured in every Vitality Blast match this season for taking 11 wickets in total.

Haggett said: “I’m thrilled to commit my future to Kent Cricket. This county is now my home and I feel proud to represent it.

“Together, we made so much progress in 2018 and the feeling in the dressing room is that we can achieve even more in the coming season.”

Kent's director of cricket, Paul Downton said: “Calum is a highly skilled cricketer who has the ability to take wickets and score runs in all formats of the game.

“He offers something different from our other seamers and has the chance to develop into a genuine all-rounder.

"His attitude and willingness to work hard and keep improving his game is an example for everyone and I’m delighted that he has extended his stay here.”
