List of Kent County Cricket Club players
This is a list of cricketers who have played for Kent County Cricket Club in top-class matches. The county club has its origin in the Kent Club founded at Canterbury on 6 August 1842. A similar organisation was formed at Maidstone in 1859 and, in 1870, these two amalgamated to create the present county club.[1] Like the Kent county teams formed by earlier organisations, including the old Town Malling club, the county club has always been classified as a top-class team.[2] The players listed have played for the club in first-class cricket, List A cricket or Twenty20 cricket matches.
The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Kent player. Note that many players represented other teams besides Kent. Current players are shown as active to the latest year in which they played for the club.[3] The list excludes Second XI and other players who did not play for the club's first team. Players who represented the county before August 1842 are included only if they also played for the county club after its initial formation.

Notes
- ^ Arafat, who was born in Bangladesh in 1996 but hold UK residency allowing him to play as a domestic player, joined Kent in May 2023 having previously played for the county's Second XI. A seam bowler, he was educated in London and was a member of the South Asian Cricket Academy, an initiative to encourage more British players of South Asian origin to become professional cricketers.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
- ^ Bull made a single appearance for the county in 1871, probably as a last minute replacement in a side described as "weak" and which lost by an innings. He batted at number 11 and bowled as Kent's fifth choice bowler without taking a wicket. Nothing further is known of his life and there are no biographical details other than his surname.[11]
- ^ Denly, who was born at Margate in 2006, made his debut during Kent's 2023 One-Day Cup campaign aged 17. A left-handed all-rounder, he is the nephew of established Kent batsman Joe Denly.[12][13][14]
- ^ a b c d e f Made his debut for the side following a member of the county’s First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county’s previous match to all self-isolate.[15][16]
- ^ Hopper played in one match for Kent. There is some doubt about the identity of the man who played in the match, although modern researchers agree it was most likely to have been Hopper.[17]
- ^ James played once for a Kent Colts side at Mote Park in 1881 before making his only first-class appearance in a match against MCC at Lord's the same year. Other than that he was born at Canterbury in 1858, there is no biographical information available about him.[18][19][20]
- ^ Jones played twice for Kent in 1847, on both occasions against Surrey. He is believed to have been from Canterbury, but no biographical information, other than his name, is known.[21][22]
- ^ Luckett made his debut in May 2022 in a first-class match against a Sri Lanka Development XI. He had previously played for Kent and Nottinghamshire Second XIs and for Loughborough UCCE.[23][24]
- ^ Singh, who was born at Orpington in 2006, played age-group and Second XI cricket for Kent before making his senior debut for the side in 2024. A batting all-rounder, he scored 16 runs on debut, batting third in the county's opening match of the 2024 One-Day Cup.[25][26][27]
- ^ Webb played a single first-class match for Kent in 1864, playing in a match against Yorkshire which may not have been an official Kent match. There is some doubt about his identity, although he is believed to have been born at Maidstone in 1840 and is likely to be the player who appeared in Kent Colts matches and for Yalding.[28][29][30]
