Kirstie Gordon to play for Kent

Kirstie

Gordon will play for Kent in 2020, the club announced on Wednesday (January 29).

Gordon makes the shift after representing Nottinghamshire since 2016.

The

Scotland-born left arm orthodox bowler has played a Test and five T20Is for

England, making her Test debut in the Ashes in 2019. She also featured in the

T20 World Cup in 2018. She has three Test wickets and eight T20I wickets.

“Everyone

associated with Kent Women is delighted that Kirstie has decided to joing us at

Kent,” said Paul Downton, Kent’s Director of Cricket about the Loughborough

Lightning player. “She has consistently taken wickets, especially in T20

cricket, across all levels of the game and her efforts so far in England

colours have shown what an exciting young spinner she is.”

The

22-year-old player was the ninth highest wicket-taker in Division One of the

National T20 competition, despite having bowled fewer overs than those in the

top ten. She picked eight wickets at an average of 6.50 and an economy rate of

just 3.71. In the County Championship games, too, she took six wickets last year
