TEENAGER Anders Rowe (pictured) has retained his place in the Kent side for a third straight year.
The 16-year-old looks set to step up to heat leader level for the first time and Kings promoter Len Silver commented: “I'm pleased to announce that Anders will remain an important part of our new-look team. “Doubling-up with Somerset in the Championship, they run on Wednesdays, so very few clashes of fixtures, and both of us are delighted with this outcome, with Anders getting the chance at a higher level that he deserves, while we enjoy watching his progress. “I have been closely associated with our teenager since he was 10 years old, and we have each benefited from the loyalty that goes in both directions. Long may it continue.”
