Adam Ball attends University of Kent masterclass

Kent all-rounder Adam Ball was the special guest at a cricket masterclass to University of Kent students as the summer season draws closer.

The 22-year-old is a graduate of the University and Kent Cricket Academy and returned to the campus sports centre to work on technique and tactics with members of the UKC cricket club.

Ball discussed his winter in Australia playing grade cricket in Queensland and the new season, which starts this week.

The ex-England Under-19 skipper was joined by ex-Kent coach Phil Relf and former Kent bowler Ben Trott, who is now assistant director of sport at the University, which celebrates its 50th birthday this year.

Entry to the game is free.
