Kent captain James Tredwell has been made available for all forms of cricket by the ECB ahead of the home series with New Zealand.

The 30 year old spinner is currently with England in Auckland as they prepare for the Third Test against New Zealand and having been awarded an incremental contract by the ECB, they can dictate to a certain degree how much cricket he plays for the county.

However the England management have determined the following availability of centrally and incrementally contracted players as well as those without a contract who have recently returned from New Zealand, ahead of the first Investec Test versus New Zealand commencing 16 May.

Tredwell is one of a handful of players that have been made available for their county to play them for all forms of cricket and he is expected to take his place in the side as Kent open their County Championship campaign away to Leicestershire on April 17th.
