Surrey fast bowler Conor McKerr has joined Kent on loan for two LV=Insurance County Championship matches against Warwickshire and Essex.
McKerr will join up with Kent this week, ahead of their fixture against Warwickshire in the LV=Insurance County Championship on Thursday (13th April). McKerr played two Championship matches for Surrey in 2022, in victories against Yorkshire and Warwickshire, and three games in the Vitality Blast. He was also Surrey’s leading wicket taker in last year’s One Day Cup.
McKerr signed an extension to his Surrey contract in 2022 and leaves on loan in hope of maximising his playing time in the coming weeks.
Director of Cricket Alec Stewart said: “This is a good opportunity for Conor to gain valuable early-season First Class game time.
“He’s worked very hard at his all round game in the off-season and I’m confident he’ll make the most of his loan period at Kent and be ready to push for 1st team selection on his return to The Kia Oval.”
