Essex Men will make the short trip to rivals Kent for a pre-season friendly next month.
The match, which will be played at the Division Two outfit’s Spitfire Ground St Lawrence home in Canterbury, will take place on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 March.
Play will start at 11am on both days and no tickets are required for the match, which will be free of charge to enter.
Kent were relegated from the top flight of the Rothesay County Championship in 2024 after ending the season bottom, while Essex finished fourth.
The Eagles are currently on an 11-match unbeaten run against Kent in competitive red-ball cricket, having not lost a First-Class game to their neighbours for almost a decade.
