Kent have appointed Toby Radford and Robbie Joseph to their coaching set up to assist head coach Matt Walker.

Radford, who has been a batting coach for the West Indies as well as head coach at Middlesex and Glamorgan, has been appointed as batting coach.

Joseph, a former Kent bowler, has been appointed bowling coach, a position he held at Gloucestershire.

"We're really pleased to complete our coaching setup," Kent's director of cricket, Simon Cook, said.

"Both will work closely with myself, head coach Matt Walker, and coaches across our Talent Pathway to help us continue to produce cricketers for Kent & England moving forward,"

Radford, 52, who was a batter for Middlesex and Sussex, was involved in setting up both the West Indies High Performance Centre and the Middlesex Academy.

He also led Middlesex to the 2008 Twenty20 Cup and was batting coach for the West Indies' T20 World Cup success in 2012 and Test Series win over England in 2019.

Joseph, 41, made 110 appearance for Kent and took 230 wickets for the county.

The former fast bowler joined the Gloucestershire coaching staff in July 2022.
