Kent have announced one change to their twelve man squad for the LV Championship game against Northamptonshire beginning on Thursday.

Spinner James Tredwell will come into the side in place of Adam Riley who misses out after playing against Yorkshire last week.

Once again, Ivan Thomas is expected to be named as twelfth man for the game in Northampton, with Kent looking to secure their first win of the season.

Announcing the squad, Jimmy Adams commented; “We are hoping to continue building on the back of the performance last week. James Tredwell returns to the side in place of Adam Riley – the rest of the squad remains unchanged.”

Kent will be hoping for a similar performance to the one against Yorkshire last week with the side rattling up 537 for 9 declared in their first innings, before bowling the Tykes out and enforcing the follow on.

Kent’s 12 man squad: Rob Key (c), Scott Newman, Ben Harmison, Brendan Nash, Mike Powell, Darren Stevens, Geraint Jones, Matt Coles, Mark Davies, Charlie Shreck, James Tredwell, Ivan Thomas.

Northamptonshire’s squad: Peters, Newton, Coetzer, Sales, Wakely, O’Brien, Middlebrook, Vaas, Willey, Daggett, Brooks, Burton & R. White.
