Kent have signed Pakistan Test bowler Kashif Ali and South African paceman Keith Dudgeon for the start of the 2025 season.

But Australian fast bowler Wes Agar will not rejoin the club until the end of May as his workload is managed at the end of the Australian season.

Ali and Dudgeon will be available for the County Championship opener at Northampton on Friday, 4 April until the conclusion of Kent’s trip to Derbyshire on Monday, 26 May.

Dudgeon, 29, has 224 career first-class wickets at an average of 25.79, while Ali has 110 first-class wickets at 28.01.

Ali, 30, made his Pakistan Test debut against West Indies in January, taking two wickets.

Australian seamer Tom Rogers will also play for Kent Spitfires in the group stage of the Vitality Blast.
