Kent Cricket have announced the signing of Hannah Hardwick on a match-by-match loan from Hampshire.

The right-arm medium-fast seamer is available for Kent Women across the Women’s Vitality Blast & Women’s Metro Bank One Day Cup competitions.

She has previous playing experience with Worcestershire & Warwickshire, and joins Kent ahead of the Horses’ first standalone Women’s Vitality Blast match against Gloucestershire this Sunday.

Kent’s Head of Women’s Cricket, Lucy Arman, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Hannah to Kent ahead of a busy short-term schedule.

“Hannah’s arrival provides extra depth to our seam bowling attack, and will provide another wicket-taking threat.”
