Claremont Cricket Club have signed Kent batsman Harry Finch for the second half of the 2022-23 Western Province Cricket Association premier league.

Finch will replace Derbyshire batsman Harry Came at Claremont Cricket Club. Came is returning to the United Kingdom.

CPT Cricket Tours facilitated the arrangement between Finch and Claremont Cricket Club.

“Finch will play for Claremont Cricket Club after the December break,” read a statement from CPT Cricket Tours.

“Harry was part of Kent’s One-Day Cup campaign earlier this year, when they secured their their first 50-over title since 1978.

“His successful, short spell with Kent was rewarded with a two-year contract – and he is heading to Cape Town to prepare for the upcoming county cricket season.”
