Muthusamy will feature in the entire 20-over campaign and is also available for eight County Championship matches. He will join the club on May 22 for the start of the T20 Blast and will remain with them until the end of the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I\u2019m looking forward to the challenge of playing County Championship & Vitality Blast cricket for the first time at a Club with a long history. I\u2019ve heard a lot of good things about Kent from my teammates who have played there before, and I\u2019m relishing the opportunity to make contributions with bat and ball in a Kent shirt,\u201d said Muthusamy in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Muthusamy, 31, was a part of South Africa\u2019s squad that won the 2025 World Test Championship at Lord\u2019s. He has represented South Africa in eight Tests, five ODIs, and five T20Is. He has made 10 first-class centuries in 115 games while also taking 81 wickets in T20s at an average of 6.62.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He shot into the limelight in November last year by scoring his first Test century for South Africa against India via 109 at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati, as the Proteas sealed a historic 2-0 series win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased to have secured the services of a multi-format international talent for most of this coming summer. \u2018Sen\u2019 is an extremely versatile player, able to bat across the middle and lower-order in Championship cricket. He will also be an asset for us on late-season surfaces that are usually more conducive to spin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cSen\u2019s experience will be invaluable in helping our young players develop into better cricketers. In particular, the time he spends with Jaydn Denly, also a left-handed batter and left-arm spinner, will be crucial in his development,\u201d said Simon Cook, Kent\u2019s Director of Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
