Kent bring in Brendan Nash

Sat, Mar 17, '12

Kent have signed West Indies batsman Brendan Nash as their overseas player for the 2012 season. Nash, the 34-year-old Australia-born left-hander, played the last of his 21 Tests in June 2011 and is expected to be available for Kent's entire campaign.

Despite dropping out of the West Indies side after a run of modest form - Nash was dismissed for single-digit scores five times in his final six Test innings - he has continued to prosper for Jamaica and has made two double-centuries for them in his last ten first-class innings. He is also seen as a positive, calm and experienced influence on and off the pitch and was previously West Indies vice-captain.
