The former Worcestershire Head Coach joined the Club in February 2023, and was Lead Batting Coach throughout the 2023 season.
The Club is now actively recruiting for a new Lead Batting Coach, as well as a Bowling Coach following Simon Cook’s appointment as Director of Cricket.
On leaving Kent, Gidman said: “I’d like to thank everyone at the Club for making me feel so welcome during my time here, and I wish everybody associated with Kent the very best.”
Kent’s Director of Cricket, Simon Cook, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for ‘Giddo’ and he moves over to ECB with our very best wishes.
“We hope to complete our coaching line-up, led by Matt Walker, for the coming season very soon.”
