Heino Kuhn leaves Kent

The 37-year-old made 92 appearances for the club in all formats, scoring 3,503 runs and taking 73 catches

Heino Kuhn has left Kent after four seasons at the Spitfire Ground.

The 37-year-old, who joined Kent in 2018, made 92 appearances for Kent across all formats, scoring 3,503 runs at an average of 35.38 and taking 73 catches.

He twice won the Alan Ealham Cup for Kent’s men’s fielder of the year (2018, 2019) and was awarded his county cap in June 2018 after scoring over 1,000 runs in just three months.

This season, Kuhn was a member of Kent’s T20 Blast-winning squad, scoring 42 runs in two appearances.

On leaving Kent, Kuhn said: "To all the members, supporters, staff and players – thank you for making these last four years an amazing experience for my family and I.

"You made us feel welcome, and at home, from 'day one'. When playing for Kent, you never feel like it’s a job, or effort, but more like a day out with friends. I know there are a lot more trophies on the way for Kent in the near future."

Head coach, Matt Walker, added: "Since 2018, Heino has contributed massively on and off the field, which has gone a long way to helping us become the squad we are today.

"He’s one of the finest professionals I’ve ever had the pleasure of coaching – totally selfless and always willing to put the team first.

"His one-day campaign of 2018 was extraordinary, and showed what a tremendous cricketer he is. We all wish him and his family all the very best in the next step of his career."
