Kent Cricket have confirmed that Joe Denly will be making the final appearance of his 23-year professional career this Friday at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury.
The 40-year-old will bow out from the game as a Kent player, when the Spitfires take on Somerset in the Men’s Metro Bank One Day Cup.
Denly’s first full appearance at the St Lawrence Ground, a stone’s throw from where he was born at the Kent & Canterbury Hospital, came back in July 2004 in a 50-Over match against Sri Lanka A.
215 appearances at the St Lawrence Ground later, the first man born in Canterbury to play Test cricket for England will end his career on his 217th, another 50-Over fixture.
Tickets for Joe Denly’s final career appearance are available via the Kent Cricket website, with tickets for Under 14s just £1 this School Summer Holidays.
