Kent to play home One-Day Cup matches at Beckenham

The County Championship clash with Sussex in July has also been moved to make up part of Canterbury Cricket Week

Snow denies Northamptonshire and Kent

County Championship team of the week: Robson, Vince and Stevens are in... but who else makes our XI?

Kent Spitfires will play their four home One-Day Cup matches at their outground in Beckenham.

Matt Walker's side face Durham, Lancashire, Hampshire and Gloucestershire on July 22, 28, August 8 and 12.

Furthermore, the climax to Kent's County Championship group campaign against Sussex (July 11-14) has been moved from Beckenham to Canterbury.

The fixture replaces the clash with Northamptonshire as the 169th Canterbury Cricket Week.

Confirmation of the venues comes after An Evening with Michael Buble and Bryan Adams, due to be staged at The Spitfire Ground, was postponed until June 2022.

Chief executive Simon Storey said: "The decision to switch these fixtures has been taken after our partners at AEG Presents indicated that both artists were set to reschedule their tours.

"In the light of the news from the promoter, we have taken this opportunity to review the home venues for our cricket - with all of our home County Championship matches now taking place in Canterbury, with Canterbury Cricket Week in July.

"It’s also great for us to be able to showcase the first class facilities at The County Ground, Beckenham. With a full schedule of four Royal London Cup home matches on great pitch, Beckenham could play an important role in our season at the height of summer.

"We also enjoy the fervent support of our members, supporters and followers in metropolitan Kent and South East London."
