Australia batsman Matt Renshaw will play for Kent at the start of English season, featuring in the One-Day Cup as well as early County Championship fixtures. The opener is hoping his spell with Kent will help force his way into Australia’s Ashes plans ahead of their tour to England later this year. He has struggled to regain his place since making way for Cameron Bancroft before the 2017-18 Ashes series in Australia. Paul Downton, Kent’s director of cricket, told the club website: “Matt is a young talent who is very hungry for success. “We look forward to welcoming Matt into the squad.”First Published: Feb 09, 2019 08:29 IST
