Kent Cricket have announced the signing of left-arm unorthodox spinner Jake Lintott on loan until 19th July, and across all formats.

The 33-year-old joins from Warwickshire and will be a part of Kent Spitfires’ Vitality Blast squad for the 2026 tournament, as well as being available for selection in the Rothesay County Championship.

Wrist-spinner Lintott has taken 90 Vitality Blast wickets to-date at an average of 22.77 and economy of 7.96. In 2021, he took 15 wickets in the Blast, earned a wild-card pick for the Hundred, and played a key role in Southern Brave’s title-winning campaign as their top wicket-taker.

Kent’s Director of Cricket, Simon Cook, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jake into the group for the next block of first-team fixtures.

“He provides us with an extra dimension to our bowling attack in all formats, and will complement the spin options we have to give us more tactical flexibility.”
