Pre-Season Preview: Kent v Essex

 

The Spitfire Ground in Canterbury will host Essex’s final pre-season fixture as they take on Kent in a three-day friendly before the 2023 County Championship season gets underway next week.

After a two-day intra-squad fixture last week at Chelmsford, Anthony McGrath’s side will travel down to Kent as they look to put the finishing touches on what has been a strong pre-season campaign.

Spectators are welcome to attend all three days for this fixture, with free entry and no tickets required.

LIVE STREAMING

The home side will provide a Live Stream without commentary, but fans can also keep up to date via the Matchzone on the Essex Cricket website.
