We want Daniel Sams according to the Daily Fail.

I don't know why. Unless we're moving on from Garton.

Glos away first up.

Before his time i think. Bresnan however...

Good player. Don't think his availability would be great though.

Excellent news!

It's still absolute folly to me that he's anywhere near the Test side.

It's on the clubs social media.

Good news, definitely a player we should be backing. Got a decent amount of game time last season. Hope he gets a go in the Blast next year.

There we go then, cheers Highveld.

They (contractors) were measuring up v Essex and the toilet block under the Raglan was a no go zone with the groundstaff hut/tunnel area closed and fencing all up and around it and the lads sitting in a dugout on the Rae Bank side. Don't know how commercial construction/demolition and all that works to be honest, no idea whether their behind schedule or not.

It's fantastic news, it really is. Terrific player and person. Inspirational.

They've started no? During the last home game v Essex they appeared to be making a start.

Shouldn't do.

Despite not having played first class cricket since May 2024 has been selected in Pakistan's Test side v South Africa today.

I'd have said he's stepped up?

Just had a quick look, Garton and Gleeson are also in this comp. So is Moeen Ali.

What a player he was.

Fantastic news

Yeah he's done an interesting interview on the Kent website today. Sounds as though he could have carried but he's lost a bit of hunger and desire for the game so he's knocking it on the head. Very much leaving the game on his own terms.

Has confirmed his retirement from international cricket.

Totally. It's not just players either, it's coaches and backroom staff etc. We've never been the best with contract renewals re. players (i think we maybe improving slightly, couldnt really get worse). And we don't seem to well with recruiting coaches and staff. There's been numerous instances in the past couple or so years of positions being vacant for absolutely months on end.
