The County Ground, Beckenham will host at least 19 scheduled days of cricket this coming Summer after five Kent Men’s Second XI matches were confirmed to be hosted at the ground, as Kent’s Men’s Second XI fixtures were revealed.

Three Youth ODIs between England & Australia & six South East Stars regional women’s fixtures are now joined by a Second XI Championship match with Surrey’s Second XI, friendlies against international opposition in Jersey & two Second XI 50-over matches that will likely be used as preparation ahead of Kent’s defence of the One-Day Cup in the height of Summer.

Polo Farm in Canterbury will host two Second XI Championship matches & a T20 double-header with Sussex Second XI.

All remaining venues to be confirmed will be updated in the Second Team fixtures section of the Kent website once agreed:

Kent’s Men’s Second XI will also face the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA) at Beckenham in a one-day match – a cricket academy aimed at providing a three-pronged approach to tackling inequalities present within professional cricket.

All Second XI matches are free entry to all, & tickets do not need to be booked in advance.
