Eastbourne, Town in England

Kent Cricket on Wednesday announced the signing of batsman Tawanda Muyeye as a domestic player on a three-year contract."A Sports Scholar at Eastbourne College under the mentorship of former Kent stars Rob Ferley and James Tredwell, the 20-year-old was named as Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year for 2020, an award previously won by England stars Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler, as well as Kent's Vice-Captain, Del Bell-Drummond," the club said in a release."Born in Zimbabwe but qualifying as a domestic player, Muyeye is a highly-talented, attacking batsman, and a useful off-spinner with an outstanding schoolboy record," it added.In 2019, in his first year in the sixth form at Eastbourne, Muyeye scored 1,112 runs with 56 sixes -- both records for the 150-year-old school. He also scored two double hundreds, his second coming from only 135 deliveries.On joining the county, Muyeye said: "I am delighted to sign for Kent and achieve my dream of becoming a professional cricketer."Kent's Director of Cricket, Paul Downton, said: "We are really excited that Tawanda has agreed to join us at Kent. He had several offers from other counties and was in high demand. As he begins his journey as a professional cricketer we aim to help him develop as a person and as a cricketer, and to help him fulfill the huge potential he undoubtedly possesses."( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
