Kent have signed Proteas all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy ahead of the 2026 English county cricket season.
Muthusamy will be available for the T20 Blast and County Championship.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge of playing County Championship and Blast cricket for the first time at a club with a big history,” said Muthusamy.
“I’ve heard a lot of good things about Kent from my team-mates that have played there before, and I’m relishing the opportunity to make contributions with bat and ball in a Kent shirt.”
Muthusamy has taken 23 wickets in eight Tests. He has also hit a century and two half-tons in Test cricket.
Kent director of cricket Simon Cook added: “We’re extremely pleased to have secured the services of a multi-format international talent for most of this coming summer.
“Senuran is an extremely versatile player, able to bat across the middle and lower order in Championship cricket. He will also be an asset for us on late-season surfaces that are usually more conducive to spin.
“In the Blast, he also provides left-handed hitting options at the back end of an innings as well as an economical spin option through the middle overs as we look to be competitive in multiple formats this season.
“Overseas players contribute in many ways beyond on-field performance. Sen’s experience will be invaluable in helping our young players develop into better cricketers.
“In particular, the time he spends with Jaydn Denly, also a left-handed batter and left-arm spinner, will be crucial in his development.”
