Kent sign all-rounder Forrester for T20 Blast

Batting all-rounder Dian Forrester has joined Kent for the 2026 T20 Blast.

The 25-year-old South African has five T20 caps for his country.

Forrester played alongside Kent Spitfires captain Sam Billings for Rawalpindi Pindiz in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

He has scored 681 runs and taken 11 wickets in 36 T20 appearances, as well as scoring another 83 runs for South Africa.

Forrester replaces Senuran Muthusamy in the Spitfires squad after he sustained a knee injury while playing in South Africa.

"I'm really excited to be playing for Kent in the Vitality Blast," said Forrester.

"Talking to Sam Billings and Justin Kemp about the history of the club and how they love it made me also want to be part of that history, and write my own this summer.

"I can't wait to play in front of packed crowds at Canterbury and give my best for the club."

Kent have also signed all-rounder Bertie Foreman, 22, on a short-term contract after impressing for the county's second XI this summer.

The left-handed batter and right-arm off-spinner will be available to play in the County Championship and T20 Blast until 19 July.
