Kent wicketkeeper-batter Ollie Robinson will join Durham for this season’s Vitality Blast.

The 23-year-old will still be available for Kent in the LV= Insurance County Championship during the scheduled matches to take place during the T20 season, and may be recalled from his loan at any time in the case of an injury to a Kent player or an England call-up.

Kent’s Director of Cricket, Paul Downton, said: “Ollie is a really talented young player and both he and Kent will benefit from ‘Robbo’ experiencing increased playing time during the Vitality Blast.

“We wish him well at Durham and look forward to welcoming him back into the squad for our next Championship fixture.”
