Kent CCC have announced that captain Charlotte Edwards is to leave the county after 16 seasons and over 6,000 runs, during a period in which Kent have dominated the women’s county game.
In a statement released by the club, Edwards said:
“It’s been a really tough decision to leave Kent but ultimately I feel it’s the right decision for me and more importantly the current team. Having won the double in 2016 I feel this is a fitting end to my time as a Kent cricketer.”
“I would like to thank everyone at Kent County Cricket Club for all their support over the past 16 years. I’m immensely proud to have played for the county and what the team has achieved within that time.”
Edwards, who is currently in Australia playing WNCL/WBBL, was recently appointed as a management board director of Hampshire CCC and the Southern Vipers, and has committed herself to playing for the Vipers next year; but it is currently unknown if she will continue to play county cricket.

For a long while Lottie has been the embodiment of Kent Womens cricket. The County owe her a huge thanks for inspiring a generation through her leadership on and off the field of play.
Going out on her own terms in County cricket is nothing less than CE deserves.

Yes Lottie is a fantastic player,but it is a team game and there are
one or two players who have also made massive contributions towards Kent winning the County Championship for a record 7 times over the past 10 years.

Agree Clive she has led a great Kent team whose achievements the likes of CE. Greenway and Marsh & co have given a great deal to Kent womens cricket.
Now time for the next generation to step up.
