However, the club announced on Tuesday that he has left with immediate effect.

A statement from the club said: “Kent Cricket can confirm that Ben Green, interim chief executive officer, has left the club, effective from December 3, 2018.

“Kent Cricket would like to acknowledge Ben’s achievements throughout his time at the club and wish him all the best in any future endeavours.

“As previously announced, new chief executive officer, Simon Storey, will commence his role on January 2, 2019.

“In the meantime, director of cricket, Paul Downton will oversee Kent Cricket affairs.

“The club will not be commenting any further on this matter.”
