Player Biography
Kent Cricket is delighted to announce the signing of explosive right-hander Chris Benjamin from Warwickshire on a contract that will run until at least the end of the 2027 season.
The 25-year-old, who can also keep wicket, had a breakout debut year in 2021, announcing his arrival during the inaugural edition of The Hundred with a match-winning innings for Birmingham Phoenix after only just signing his first professional contract.
He scored 127 on County Championship debut for the Bears, and has gone on to score 50 or more on multiple occasions across all three formats, including 50 on List A debut and 60 on debut in the Vitality Blast. He also has a current career T20 batting strike rate of 138.41.
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Benjamin holds a British passport and qualifies as a domestic player.
